The dance of the Raas Leela is a performance that scans centuries of beliefs, myths and moorings of the
sacred and the divine. The Raas Leela plays out in surreal splendour through the divine dance of love. The fine
characteristics of dupion silk and the tie-n-dye Shibori technique fuse to become a testimony to a modern day
performing art. In its interlocking and interweaving, delicate rhythms of harmony and a blissful joy are actively sought.

When Radha and Krishna dance in the Vrindavan forest, there are a multitude of gopikas, and just so that no gopika feels left out or alone, Krishna multiplies himself so that every gopika has a Krishna to dance with. This creates a swirl of devotion, love and divine energy, because every gopika feels she has Krishna completely to herself, and she is right, but it is also true that Krishna belongs to everyone and is with everyone. He is intimate to you and me, but he is also intimate to the whole universe. How beautiful is this idea of all pervading dancing, swirling energy. This is the energy I sought to bring forth in the visual expression of the Radha-Krishna Raas Leela. We can see the individual dancing couples, but it all melds into a universal energy of dance and light. The blue is Krishna, the yellow-gold are Radhaji and the gopikas.
