DESCRIPTION
The arrival of spring, a time for revelry and celebration, is not overlooked in the setting of Krishna and his friends, the cowherds and the gopis, because it provides yet another opportunity for the poet and painter to build these relationships on a deeper level. While everyone else celebrates the festival by flinging coloured powder, bathing one another with coloured water from syringes, and singing, the game of Holi takes on a new meaning between Krishna and Radha. Suddenly, in the midst of all the noise and bustle, their eyes become locked, as the poet puts it, and they become drenched in each other's love as much as they do in the water being squirted around.

About the Art form
The visual art of Kangra is known as "Kangra painting," and it was popularised by the former princely state of Himachal Pradesh known as the Kangra State. It gained popularity when the Basohli school of painting began to fade in the middle of the 18th century and soon produced so many paintings, both in terms of quantity and quality, that the Pahari painting school later became known as Kangra paintings. Although Guler, Basohli, Chamba, Nurpur, Bilaspur, and Kangra are the principal locations for Kangra paintings. Later, this style spread to Mandi, Suket, Kullu, Arki, Nalagarh, and Tehri Garhwal (represented by Mola Ram). Today, this style is referred to as Pahari painting and covers the period between the 17th and the 19th century when Rajput kings were a significant supporter of this genre. It rose to prominence as Pahari painting's most significant hub under the patronage of Maharaja Sansar Chand (c.1765?1823).
