The yellow silky shawl is nicely fluttering on the chest of Shyam Sundar, on the other hand a blue saree is adorning the body of Shri Radha Rani. Pearl-necklaces are adorning the upper body of both of them. The jingling of their bracelets, tinkling of their waist-belt, and the rattling of Their anklets are creating a most attractive combined sound, which is extremely enthralling.

एक सिर मोर-मुकुट राजै,

एक सिर चुनरी-छवि छाजै,

‘Kripalu’ duhuna driga chaari ki, ki banavaari nathaavari ki.

Shri Radha Krishna Arti (Meaning)

The heads of both are slightly leaning on each other’s head. A group of gopis is standing around them and They are standing putting their arms around each other. Although this scene is really spectacular, yet what to say of that rapturous scene when they look intently into the eyes of each other!
