Patterns play an important role in this small painting of the Hindu god Krishna, his beloved Radha, and a male follower relaxing together in a lush garden. Roll your cursor over the painting to see the fine details. What types of patterns do you see on their clothing? In nature? Can you find any ways that the patterns connect the spiritual figures with the natural world? Do the patterns show a connection between Krishna and his beloved Radha?
