The story of what happened to Radha after Krishna left her varies depending on the region and the source. According to North Indian legend, Radha killed herself after Krishna left her. However, in Bengal, it is said that Radha found happiness anew with Ayan, her older and indulgent husband who was a wool merchant and travelled far and wide selling his wares, leaving his lovely young bride in the care of his mother and sisters. In Vaishnavite traditions of Hinduism, Radha is an important goddess who is intrinsic with Krishna. According to Garga Samhita and Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Radha left her home post Krishnas departure and went to Kadli vann (forest) leaving behind her illusionary form (also called Chaya Radha, her shadow) in Barsana. Radha with Ashtasakhi also met Uddhava in this forest who delivered them Krishnas message. After the curse of 100 years of separation got over, Krishna revisited Braj and met Radha and gopis. After performing the divine pastimes for some time, Krishna called a huge divine chariot which took the residents of Braj along with Radha and gopis back to their celestial abode Goloka where the final reunion of Radha Krishna took place. Another version of the story suggests that Radha merged with Krishna, in body, mind, and soul, for an eternity, in Golok.
