=== Culture ===
The residents of [[Braj]] region still greet each other with salutations like "''[[Radhe Radhe]]", "Jai Shri Radhe"'' and "''Radhe Shyam''", directing their mind to Radha and ultimate relationship she shares with Krishna. The image of Krishna rarely appears without Radha by his side in the temples of [[Vrindavan]]. It is not the Krishna who is worshiped, but Radha and Krishna together are worshiped.<ref>{{Citation|title=ONE.

In [[culture of Odisha]], Krishna is the cultural hero and his form [[Jagannath]], is the symbol of Oriya pride. His consort Radha is celebrated as the energy of Krishna and symbolically the energy of the cosmos. She is considered as the power of joy, the hladini [[shakti]] of Krishna and is often identified with both [[Durga]] and [[Mahakali]], the bright and dark forms of the cosmic energy. Krishna and Radha have entered the Oriya psyche and have inspired the mythic imagination of the Oriya poets in a big way. For the conscious and the informed, Krishna and Radha are the Universe and its harmony, the Energy and its joyful articulation, the cosmic dance and its rhythmic balance.<ref name=":8">{{Cite journal|last=Mohanty|first=Prafulla Kumar|date=2003|title=Mask and Creative Symbolisation in Contemporary Oriya Literature: Krishna, Radha and Ahalya|journal=Indian Literature|volume=47|issue=2 (214)|pages=181–189|jstor=23341400|issn=0019-5804}}</ref>
