Between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, a wave of Krishna worship swept Hindu India. In Krishna, the Hindus found a loving God who moved among them and shared their pastoral and agricultural pursuits. He was the Lover, and the Soul of mankind was the Beloved. Krishna worship inspired a cycle of poetry in the sixteenth century, followed by a cycle of painting in the succeeding three centuries. Out of the art inspired by Krishna worship, the Kangra painting is undoubtedly the most tender and charming.
