EDITORS COMMENTS
Radha Rejecting Krishna," an exquisite 18th-century Indian artwork from the Chamba region of Himachal Pradesh, presents a captivating scene of Radha, the beloved consort of Krishna, walking away from him in the forest. The opaque watercolor and gold and ink on paper depicts Radha in a red and gold sari, her face expressing a mix of emotions - longing, sadness, and determination. Krishna, dressed in traditional yellow attire, stands before her, his hands raised in a gesture of supplication. Radha, with a graceful wave of her hand, signals her rejection, her gaze fixed on the horizon as she takes a step forward. The image is set against a backdrop of lush trees and plants, adding to the serene and romantic atmosphere. This metaphorical representation of Radha's decision to prioritize her devotion to Krishna over her personal attachment to him is a common theme in Hinduism and is often depicted in Indian art. The artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a beautiful testament to the rich artistic heritage of South East Asia and the enduring influence of Hinduism on Indian culture.
