Radha-Krishna seated together in Bengal Pattachitra by Manoranjan Chitrakar

In the Bengal Pattachitra painting, artist Manoranjan Chitrakar portrays Radha and Krishna sitting together with Radha holding a Veena. This portrayal of sitting together emphasizes their deep emotional and spiritual connection. Radha is often considered the embodiment of devotion and love, while Krishna represents divine love and supreme consciousness. Radha holding a Veena is a representation of her musical and artistic talents. Radha’s connection with the Veena symbolizes her ability to express her love and devotion to Krishna through music and art. The imagery of Radha and Krishna sitting together and Radha playing the Veena represents the harmony and love that exists between human and divine, and between the masculine and feminine aspects of divinity. It also helps preserve and pass down cultural and religious stories and traditions related to these deities.
