Product Description

Savor the moment with this charming handmade Batik painting of Krishna & Radha. Batik is both an art and a craft, which is becoming more popular and well known in the West as a wonderfully creative medium. The art of decorating cloth in this way, using wax and dye, has been practiced for centuries. Stitched sequins are sometimes added to enhance the art. In India Batik became popular in Shantiniketan, near Calcutta, and has now gone to many parts of India and the world. Batik paintings portray a huge array of themes which include religious themes as well as abstract patterns. This painting captures the essence of Krishna, the colorful lord of love and romance, who is shown on a swing, in the company of Gopis, and imploring his beloved Radha for love.
