Krishna, Radha, and the Gopis Meet a Young Prince

Within a large red circle with a yellow border is Krishna, the blue-skinned, eighth avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu who is revered as a deity in his own right. He is crowned and bare-chested. His right arm is over his consort, Radha’s, shoulder. Behind them is a group of gopis (milkmaids). They all face a young prince, his royal status denoted by the large fan he carries. Below them are two female musicians one plays the symbols, while the other plays the mridagam, a type of drum. Rajput Style, Mewar School.
