Wikipedia IS a place for neutrality as it claims. Wikipedia, if used for communal bullshit of garb of FOE, it must be held accountable. Read about 'Paradox of tolerance'. In this case, wikipedian admins are using tolerance to force their hateful content/propaganda. WP:THEYDONTLIKEIT specifically talks about this kind of situation where admins try censorship argument to avoid discussion on proper content vs racism/hate like this article. WP:SNOW should apply on you then.

|concern = Disrespect towards Hindu community. Radha was not married to Bhagwan Krishna. She was a devotee according to Vaishnav Shastra ex. Shrimad Bhagwat. Shree Krishna is the most respected avatar in history. He should be revered not abused. Such painting are painted by enemies of Hinduism who may have Hindu names but were not Hindus from heart and are those who had vested interests. Any book/media which promotes such picture either do not understand Hinduism/Hindu sentiments or purposefully against it. Wikipedia should take a ground on whether they should be neutral towards everybody and remove every article which demeans some religion (ie. Hinduism) or declare itself as a platform of hate towards Hindus. Later choice will have serious repercussions. Wikipedia might be banned in India if things like this come out open. Already many such internet products (ex. Amazon in recent time, even Bollywood films like LSC) are banned after twitter boycott. So, it's not gonna be different for wikipedia. For example Islamic countries would have banned WP if any picture of Muhammad was shown here even though hundreds of such pictures are available. India is also a religious country. Religion has serious impact on government decisions. So, admins delete it if you don't want more controversy.

Description

[edit]

The painting is the example of pahari painting used in Gardner's Art Through the Ages, which states:[3]

In Krishna and Radha in a Pavilion, the lovers sit on a bed beneath a jeweled pavilion in a lush garden of ripe mangoes and flowering shrubs. Krishna gazes directly into Radha's face. Radha shyly averts her gaze. It is night, the time of trysts, and the dark monsoon sky momentarily lights up with a lightning flash indicating the moment's electric passion. Lightning is a standard symbol used in Rajput and Pahari miniatures to symbolize spiritual bliss and excitement.

Art scholar Stuart Cary Welch calls it a prime example of "Mughal naturalism combined with the tender lyricism of local traditions and Vaishnavite poetry."[1]
