Krishna returns with the herd in a charged atmosphere full of passion. The symbols of romance abound symbolized by the peacock and the coming storm punctuated by a sudden electric charge which startles the hearts of the women seated on the balcony regarding the scene. Krishna with his flute sets the melody of this opening sequence which enflames the Radha's passion for him.
