DESCRIPTION
Krishna and Radha appear as Raja Balwant Singh's spiritual vision. Nainsukh has carefully established two universes, one populated by the deities and the other by their follower, who sits at the doorway. Balwant Singh stares into Krishna's eyes and accepts his Lord's grace. The background is a raja's court patio; the canopy invites the visitor into the divine sphere of the gods, who sit on a gilded, cushioned throne. This work is extremely strong because Nainsukh avoided ornamentation and instead concentrated on the key aspects of the narrative scene. Two sakhis stands behind Krishna and Radha, one holding a whisker and the other a tray of food.

About the Art form
Guler State is famed for being the origin of Kangra painting in the first half of the 18th century, when a family of Kashmiri painters trained in Mughal painting sought refuge at the court of Guler's Raja Dalip Singh (r. 1695-1741). The rise of Guler Paintings or Guler style began during the early phase of Kangra art. Guler was a pre-colonial Indian hill state located in the Lower Himalayas. Haripur Guler, in modern-day Himachal Pradesh, was its capital. Raja Hari Chand, a descendant of Kangra's ancient royal family, established the kingdom in 1415. The word Guler derives from the word Gwalior, which means "abode of cowherds."
