Gita Govinda is an influential and celebrated work of Jayadeva, the 12th-century Indian poet. The most popular story from this work is the relationship between the deity Krishna and a female cow herder, Radha. Their relationship and Gita Govinda as a whole are favourite and recurring subjects in Indian art. A popular depiction of such a relationship is this painting by Sahibdin. "Krishna and Radha in a Bower" perfectly captures the magical, lyrical and rich prose of Gita Govinda. In this painting, Krishna and Radha's love story is visualized: reflected in the wide array of colours, of the plants, ornaments, trees, as well as the celestial symbols. The forest looks magical. But instead of focusing on Krishna and Radha, Sahibdin emphasizes Radha's confidant by making her the central figure in the story. The confidant looks back on the road in the forest, symbolizing how long have Krishna travelled and endured just to meet and be with his beloved Radha.
