**Artist Statement**
As a traditional leather puppet artist, I created *Radha-Krishna Divya Sangeeta Leela (Naada Brahma)* to celebrate the eternal connection between music, devotion, and divine love. Through the image of Radha playing the Veena and Krishna playing the flute, I wanted to express the harmony of feminine and masculine energies, where every note becomes a form of prayer and spiritual awakening.
This artwork is deeply inspired by the rich heritage of Indian storytelling and leather puppet traditions passed down through generations. Each scene depicted on the Veena represents an important episode from Krishna’s life, symbolizing the journey from divine birth to the triumph of righteousness. By combining traditional craftsmanship with sacred narratives, I aim to preserve and share our cultural heritage with contemporary audiences.
For me, this Veena is not just a musical instrument or an art object; it is a visual hymn dedicated to devotion, creativity, and the timeless message of love and dharma. Through this work, I hope viewers experience the beauty of Indian mythology, the power of music as a universal language, and the spiritual essence that unites art, culture, and faith.
