We briefed Rasa Lila as a radial central-deity composition because the leela's whole miracle is the ring: Krishna multiplies so each gopi has him to herself, and a Cheriyal painter reads that as a spinning circle, not a strip. We held a central Krishna-Radha pair at the still heart and ringed them with alternating blue Krishnas and skirted gopis, arms linked, so the eye goes round the way the dance does. The white full moon between two kadamba canopies gives the autumn night, and the grazing cows and lotuses along the lower band root it in Vraja. Medium fill keeps the red ground showing between the dancers so the circle reads as a circle, not a crush of figures.
