In Hinduism, the name Gopikas used more commonly to refer to the group of cowherding girls famous within Vaishnavism for their unconditional devotion (Bhakti) to Krishna as described in the Bhagavata Purana and other Puranic literature. According to Hindu Vaishnava theology, the stories concerning the gopis as depicted in this artist’s works are said to exemplify Suddha-bhakti which is described as ‘the highest form of unconditional love for God’ (Krishna).
