New Delhi, September 29 : The world knows of Radha as the consort of Krishna in childhood, playing on the banks of Jamuna at Gokul. But few are aware of her travails when her consort left her to become the charioteer of Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, and her longing to become the wife of the Lord remained unfulfilled.

Smita Prakash in a Bharatanatyam dance performance on Saturday (Sep. 27) narrated the story in an appealing manner at the Triveni Kala Sangam here. The programme ''Radha''s dilemma'' presented the innermost joys and sorrows of Radha, the girl known for her undying love for Krishna.
