The image of the heavenly couple frolicking on a swing is a key motif from Hindu poetry during the festival of Julan Yatra. Held during the monsoon month of Shravana, idols of the pair are placed on swings by worshippers to mark the festival today. Very similar compositions of Krishna and Radha on a swing against a lush backdrop can be found in the Victoria & Albert Museum (inv. IS.188-1952) and the Virginia Museum of Fine Art (inv. 68.8.101). A similar Mewari painting was sold Christie’s, South Kensington on 26 October 2007, lot 13.
