About this image
Silver moonlight has a particular quality that no lamp can replicate. It is cool where fire is warm, gentle where electricity is harsh, and it reveals just enough to let the imagination complete the rest. This Radha Krishna swing scene uses that quality as its primary light source. The full moon hangs large in the sky -- the kind of exaggerated moon that appears in Indian miniature paintings, where the moon is always bigger than astronomy allows because its emotional significance demands it. The divine couple sways on a flower-laden swing, their forms partially silhouetted against the silver light, partially illuminated where the moon finds an angle through the canopy. Fireflies drift through the frame with the randomness of real insects, their bioluminescence warm against the cool moonlight. The Yamuna river is suggested in the distance, its surface a sheet of reflected silver. The atmosphere is what the Sanskrit aesthetic theorists called "shringara rasa" -- the emotional flavor of love -- combined with "shanta rasa" -- the flavor of peace. Together they create a mood that no single word in English captures. The closest approximation might be "intimate contentment," the state of being exactly where you should be, with exactly who you should be with.
