Representation of holi scene: Phad by Kalyan Joshi

Kalyan Joshi, in his Phad art, depicts a Holi scene depicting Radha and Krishna playing with colors.

It is believed that Krishna, known for his mischievous nature, used to playfully apply colors to Radha and other Gopis (cowherd girls), creating a beautiful and joyous atmosphere. Holi is one of the most vibrant and lively festivals in India. It brings people of all ages and backgrounds together to celebrate with colors, music, and dance. Depicting Radha and Krishna playing with colors in Phad art captures the essence of this cultural celebration, showcasing the unity and diversity of Indian culture.
