Next Picture

The poet compares the faint perfume of flowers which cling to Hari's hair to the moonbeams caught in a cluster of clouds. The artist restricts himself to the two bowers, one empty, the other with Krsna and Radha, with sakhi standing outside. Only the moon on the horizon is the pictorial counterpart of the poetic simile.
