THE AFFAIR | An Ancient Romance Explored based on Jayadeva’s Gita Govindam, explores the dalliance between Krishna, the pastoral god of the Hindu pantheon, and Radha, head of the milkmaids. The myth of their romance is greatly extolled in the Gita Govinda, a 12th-century composition by saint-poet Jayadeva. Whilst these poems have come to signify a spiritual journey (as a quest for divinity) the pages flourish with descriptions of the sensuous, spelling out the romance between the couple. Over the centuries the differences in interpretation have arisen from conflicting interests, some puritanical and restrictive, others more worldly and liberating.
