Radha is the cowherd girl of Barsana and Vrindavan, and her devotion to Krishna is central to bhakti for many Hindus. Gaudiya Vaishnavas honour her as Krishna's own blissful energy; other traditions call her his eternal consort; some devotees worship her first of all. In art she is golden and veiled, holding a lotus or garland beside the flute-playing Krishna in Vrindavan's groves. Her name comes first in the greeting Radhe Radhe, and the love she stands for is understood as the soul's longing for God.
A portrait of Radha in the devotional painting style of Hinduism: a Hindu goddess and the chief consort of Krishna, chief of the gopis of Braj and queen of Vrindavan and Barsana [2][35]. She is central in Gaudiya Vaishnavism, the Nimbarka Sampradaya, Pushtimarg, the Radha Vallabha and Haridasi traditions, and is also counted among the goddesses of Shaktism [2][3][29], printed on museum-grade matte paper.
