Answer: The painting "Awaiting Krishna and the Hesitant Radha" falls under the Guler–Kangra phase.

Awaiting Krishna and the Hesistant Radha- Artist Pandit Seu had two talented sons, Manak or Manaku and Nainsukh. Their contribution in maneuvering the style of Pahari painting from the stage of Basohli to that of Kangra is immense. Their sons, in turn, represent the glorious period of Kangra. This painting is categorised in the Guler–Kangra phase, wherein, experimentation for change had already been initiated.
