The white color extract from seashells was powdered and soaked to make the white paste. The color green is made from green leaves and green stones. Red is made from a local stone called Hingula. Another stone named Khandaneela was used to extract the color blue. The yellow is made from, a stone named Hartal. Black is extracted by burnt coconut shell. These five colors are also called Pancha Tatwa.120 other colors are made by using these five main colors. Every color has its own significance, as white illustrates Laughter (Hasya), Red stands furious, astonished in yellow. Blue is used to depict Lord Bishnu and Green for Lord Rama. The hair of the mouse and Buffalo was used to make brushes and tied to the end of a bamboo stick. The floral border makes the art astonishingly beautiful.
Radha Krishna has two bodies but one entity that’s why his name is uttered in a single breath. Whenever Lord Krishna played his flute, Radha couldn’t resist meeting Krishna. They shared eternal love with each other, power of sacrifice, and strength with each other. They are celestial beings. The love and devotion for each other are something that can never be found. They teach us that love does not have any early definition and explanation, it’s a supreme union between the human and divine.
The picture above depicts the mystique of love between Radha Krishna surrounded by many Gopikas. Keeping a Radha Krishna painting in your home or office imbues a spirit of devotion, love, sacrifice, and strength. Another take on a splash of hues used in the painting makes it look more bewitching on the wall.
Care: Dust it with a soft cloth or brush.
