Small wood carved wall-art of Radha and Krishna. An excellent wood carving of the eternal lovers, Radha and Krishna. They are shown in a warm embrace. Radha was the chief <em>gopi</em> (cowherd woman) who had transcendental love for Krishna. The love of Radha-Krishna has been a theme of art since ages in India. Unlike mortal love, the affection of Radha-Krishna has great spiritual significance. Radha is conceived of as the potency of Krishna , the absolute <em>Brahman</em>, to enjoy. Krishna is therefore treated non-different from Radha. <br> <br><em>Brahmavaivarta Purana</em>, one of the eighteen chief <em>Puranas </em>(Hindu scriptures) extols in detail the transcendence of this eternal relation. This beautiful wood carving may serve as an ideal wall hanging or may even be placed around as a decorative piece of wood art. The wood carving is in traditional South Indian style.
