The pair of Radha and Krishna is considered to be an ideal pair. The mythical story of Radha and Krishna is often quoted as a symbolic story about the power of love and devotion. There are a plethora of Indian stories, bhajans and songs glorifying the love of Radha Krishna.
As per Vastu, it is ideal to display a painting or sculpture of Radha Krishna in the South West direction of your house. This direction governs all the relationships of the residents.

Butterflies are symbolic of change and transformation. They represent joy, happiness and a feeling of fulfilment.
They are believed to be powerful representations of life. Some cultures associate the butterfly with our souls and call the butterfly as a symbol of resurrection. Around the world, people associate the butterfly with endurance, hope, change and happiness.
Therefore, it is ideal to display a painting of colourful butterflies in the East of North East direction of your house.
