Radha ialah dewi penting dalam tradisi Hinduisme Waisnawa. Sifat, manifestasi, perihalan dan persamaannya berbeza mengikut wilayah. Radha adalah bahagian intrinsik Krishna. Dalam kesusasteraan India purba, sebutan tentang dia adalah jarang. Tradisi yang menyembahnya menjelaskan ini sebagai harta rahsia yang tersembunyi di dalam kitab suci.

Radha juga muncul dalam Purana, iaitu Padma Purana (sebagai avatar Lakshmi), Devi-Bhagavata Purana (sebagai bentuk Mahadevi), Bhagavata Purana dan Vishnu Purana (sebagai Gopi istimewa), Brahma Vaivarta Purana (sebagai dewa tertinggi Radha-Krishna), Mahabharata (sebagai Shreeji), Matsya Purana (sebagai bentuk Devi), Linga Purana (bentuk Lakshmi), Narada Purana dan Shiva Purana (sebagai dewi cinta).^[6][7][8]
