Divine Union in the Garden

Radha in her deep red lehenga and Krishna in his yellow and purple dhoti sit facing each other in a lush garden, a flower resting between them — the quiet token of a love beyond words. Dense foliage in every shade of green frames their intimate exchange. Painted in the miniature tradition with the delicacy of Kishangarh school influence, this is among Puli Vijaya Kishore's most lyrical works: small in gesture, vast in feeling.

Original watercolour on paper. One-of-a-kind.
