Explanation:
The Pahari painting ‘Krishna with Gopis’ belongs to Basohli school of Art. It
was painted during 1730 A.D. by the artist Manaku. It was painted in watercolour on paper
with Tempera method. Krishna-Lila themes have been depicted through this relevant
painting in Pahari School of miniature paintings in our course of study.
The theme of this painting have been selected from the ‘Gita Govinda’ series. The painting
presents Krishna surrounded by gopis singing and dancing on the bank of river Yamuna.
The composition is in typical Basohli style with geometrical pattern. The use of bold colour
infused vitality in the painting. Krishna is wearing a bright yellow dress with his upper body
naked but ornamented. He is also wearing a crown with jewels and peacock plumes. Five
gopis have been shown around Krishna who is in the centre of the painting. They are
adoring Krishna who is wearing a graceful loin cloth and is embracing two of the gopis.
