‘Shyama’ was written by a 16th century mystic poet called Surdas and describes a state of yearning experienced by the young Radha for the beautiful Shyama, or Krishna. The love of Radha for Krishna, a popular theme in the Indian arts, symbolises the desire of the individual soul for God. The video was shot on location in the Mansarovar groves of Vrindaban, where Krishna passed his childhood.
