The Radha Rani temple, the Ladli Ji shrine, riding the top of Brahmagiri hill above Barsana. The red sandstone temple with its domes and turrets catches a low gold light; a long flight of steps winds up the ochre hillside past small dwellings, with tiny figures making the climb. The flat Braj plain stretches to a hazy horizon under a peach and rose sky. Sandhya Kaushik builds the hill and houses in warm palette-knife slabs of ochre, rust and brown, then keeps the temple crisp in red and gold at the summit.

The rising hill and broad plain give the piece a spacious, pilgrim's-end calm. The wide view suits a wall above a sofa, a console, or a long credenza.
