Arising from the Jaipur School is this intensely personal image of divine lovers- Krishna and Radha, standing on the moonlit terrace playing Holi during the month of Phalguna. Decked with ornaments, Krishna wears a peacock feather turban whereas Radha is adorned in elaborate traditional attire. Krishna stands embracing Radha, resembling the moon in the starry firmament. It confirms the brilliance of the painter in capturing the moment of love and affection.
