Love and kindness swirl with the prevailing winds of graceful Radha, the Hindu Mother Goddess and consort of God Krishna. Prominently standing out from the turquoise-blue sky and floral backdrop, Radha blissfully celebrates her role as chief consort of the Gopies together her closest friends, the Ashtasakhis. Reinterpreting the iconic Madhubani style of painting endemic to the region of Bihar, Indian artist Bharti Dayal paints 'Radha with Gopies' to consciously tell the story of her culture's origins, assigning each detail its own intellectual meaning. Internationally recognized for her resurrection of the Madhubani style which had previously suffered poor quality and a lack of originality, Dayal works to perpetuate classic themes beyond the scope of mere folk art while avoiding the mundane nature of contemporary recreations.
"Madhubani paintings are in fact a simplistic manifestation of the philosophical heights achieved by Indian civilization for the universal power of love, longing and peace; the quest of all beings," Dayal says.

"Vibrant and Charming!"
This painting is delightful, a great combination of traditional form and colors and modern, geometrical composition. I love the parrots expression and the checkerboard-bird background.

Preserving Traditions
Bharti has dedicated her life to the preservation of Madhubani painting. She is viewed as an authority in the field and has trained dozens of aspiring artists in this ancient style, many of whom are now able to earn a living through the practice of this art. In her own paintings, Bharti brings a contemporary intellectual edge to this ancient Indian folk art. She has received numerous awards for her paintings but the one she treasures most is the National Award for Excellence in Handicrafts, also known as the President's Award - it was her long-held dream to receive it.
