Krishna’s whimsical act Tikuli painting by Ashok Kumar

Ashok Kumar portrays the two central figures in Hinduism namely Radha-Krishna, symbolizing the eternal and pure bond between the human soul and the divine. The depiction of Krishna sitting with a pot and a flute, along with Radha standing with a pot convey the essence of Radha and Krishna’s divine love story and spiritual relationship. The impressions of Krishna’s flute and Radha’s pot evoke a sense of desiring and longing for the divine. The flute represents the call of the soul’s yearning, and the pot symbolizes the soul’s vessel of love ready to be poured out to unite with the divine. Inclusively, the scene captures the essence of divine love, surrender, and the spiritual journey towards unity with the divine.
