Delicate, emotive and enchanting- the idiom of Maysore paintings is perfect for the narration of Krishna-Lilas, the magical tales of Vishnu’s eighth incarnation. In this Mysore painting, the exquisite atmosphere of Vrindavan upon hearing the flute of Krishna has been recreated, with Radha and Krishna seated in the center, surrounded by the Sakhas (friends) of Krishna. Those witnessing the divine flute player, are realizing his cosmic powers, a process which has been astutely captured in the painting, which combines the images of Krishna and Rama, to underline the identity of Murli-Manohara. Understanding their friend Krishna is the preserver of the Universe, who takes different forms to sustain the world, the companions of Krishna surrender themselves to him, holding his lotus feet and gazing at his divine play in awe.
The vocabulary of Mysore painting and its subtle colors with fine brushwork has given each subject a true-to-life appearance, which brims with a sense of animation. The surroundings, including the arched gateway, the animals relishing in the company of Krishna, and the trees of Vrindavan have been beautifully added to the canvas.
