Krishna and Radha in a Pavilion is an 18th-century rajput painting depicting the two Hindu deities Krishna and Radha engaged in sexual intimacy.[2]
The painting is the example of pahari painting used in Gardner's Art Through the Ages, which states:[3]
Art scholar Stuart Cary Welch calls it a prime example of "Mughal naturalism combined with the tender lyricism of local traditions and Vaishnavite poetry."
