Though the religious scriptures rarely mention Radha, and she finds more space in local/regional and folk, oral cultures, the beloved of Krishna is not less than any other female divinity in India. What the texts couldn't or did not do, stories passed on from one generation to another did, creating an independent cult of Radha Rani, the queen Radha as her followers affectionately call her, woven with the tales of pure love and sacrifice.
Radha Rani stands on a round lotus-shaped pedestal, the lotus being an attribute of goddess Lakshmi, who is believed to have incarnated as Radha. The brass idol is handmade, thus the facial expressions are simple, but not devoid of realistic touch. Another name for Radha is Kishori or the youthful one. She is represented as a beautiful young maiden, who was the muse of Krishna's music and the shakti (power) in his wars. Wrapped in a sari, Radha Ji is decked with appealing ornaments and holds a golden lotus, one of her attributes in her left hand. With her right hand, she forms the gesture of fearlessness. Filling the life of her worshippers with love, beauty, abundance, and devotion, Radha is evoked alongside Krishna or individually across India
