Radha and Krishna in Jyeshtha Mas, Kangra by Mukesh Kumar

Poet Keshav Das says about Jyeshtha -
“The sun is so bright and scorching that the five elements air, water, sky, earth and fire have become one, hot as fire..the roads are deserted and the tanks are parched dry… . even the powerful creatures become weak in this season.”
This Kangra miniature by artist Mukesh Kumar Depicts Radha and Krishna in the Jyestha season from the Barahmasa series. The protagonists stand together, in affectionate conversation, against an arid landscape, with cracked earth and sparse vegetation. The few trees and plants depicted appear wilted and thirsty, their leaves drooping under the relentless sun. It also offers a glimpse into the struggles of humans and animals seeking shelter to cope with the heat. Through intricate detailing and vibrant colors, the artist portrays a romantic visual narrative against the challenges of early summer.

Altogether, the concept of Baramasa in Pahari miniature painting celebrates the cyclical beauty of nature and the intertwined emotions of human life, offering a rich and immersive portrayal of the seasons through the lens of traditional Indian art. Centered on a nayika (woman) yearning for her lover's presence, it captures the changing seasons as they unfold in the background.
