Standing by the side of Lord Krishna is Radharani, His eternal feminine counterpart. She is the perfection of divine service, and the transcendent origin of all goddesses. Her left hand carries an article with which she will serve Krishna, perhaps flowers or a fan. Her right hand is raised in an attitude of blessing. Worshippers address Radharani first, and appeal to Her in order to be allowed to serve Krishna with as much devotion as She.
