Geet Govinda
Paintings in Kanheri Style
Narmada Prasad Upadhyaya
Geet Govinda-a superb lyrical Sanskrit poem of the 12th century composed by Jaideva-contains twelve cantos that have twenty-four eight-stanza songs or ashtapadis which deal with the love plays of the Dark Lord Krishna and his fair beloved Radha. In Khandesh in the district of Maharashtra, Geet Govinda was painted in 1765 in a new style-Kanheri. This is a fine blending of folk and royal styles. The colours are indigenous and the lines are delicate. This discovery has added a new chapter to the history of Indian art.
