The Alhadini Shakti (she who is the cause of joy) of Krishna and the queen of Vrindavan, goddess Radha in Krishna-bhakti is the path and the mantra to reach Krishna. The purity of her love and the strength of her devotion to Krishna is the guiding light for Bhaktas. Her unblemished character and heavenly beauty are evoked in this white marble statute. Youthful and brimming with beauty, goddess Radha stands in a majestic pose, with one leg placed on a pink lotus and the other firmly balancing her body. Attired in a paisley-patterned traditional dhoti and blouse, Radha is wrapped in a blue chunri- symbolizing her connection with the blue-skinned Krishna.
A golden crown, earrings, jeweled necklace, bangles, rings, anklets, and waistband adorn the moon-white form of Radha, adding to the luster of her beauty.
Devi Radha holds a lotus in her left hand, on which a peacock gently pecks. Mayura, a beloved bird of Krishna is often used in art to symbolize Krishna’s presence, who seems to have taken the feathered form to relish in the company of his lovely Radharani. With her hand raised in Abhaya mudra, to assure those who take refuge in her, Radha in this glistening statue is a picture of purity and benevolence that makes one beloved of the Lord.
