Renowned artist Manoranjan Chitrakar, in his Bengal Pattchitra, depicts Radha and Krishna sitting in a loving gesture with Radha holding Krishna’s flute. In Hinduism, Lord Krishna is often depicted playing the flute, which symbolizes the call of the divine to the human soul. Radha holding Krishna’s flute signifies her devotion to him and her role as the ideal devotee, deeply immersed in the divine music of Krishna’s flute. Paintings like these serve as a source of spiritual inspiration for devotees. They remind people of the divine love that Radha and Krishna represent and encourage individuals to cultivate a similar deep and loving connection with the divine. This portrayal is a unique expression of the deep devotion and love between Radha and Krishna within the context of Bengali art and culture.
