The Yamuna River flows across the bottom of the page.Description
While Radha waits for Krishna in her bower, he is flirting with other women of the cowherding community. Like a fickle lover, sometimes god abandons his devotee and showers blessings on others. Radha's companion comes to bring her the news of Krishna's playful, erotic activities.- {{cite web|title=Krishna and Gopis|url=false|author=|year=c. 1660|access-date=19 December 2025|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
