Lord Krishna is the god of compassion, love, and tenderness and is revered as one of the prominent avatars of Lord Vishnu in Hinduism. Krishna is interpreted as ‘all-attractive’, as the aura of his charm and purity captivates the eyes of the viewer. The beautiful brass sculptures you see on this page depict Lord Krishna in his iconic Tribhanga posture, where the left leg crosses the right from the front in an elegantly balanced pose, and the waist and head are tilted a bit. Krishna plays his flute arousing the most melodious tones that directly touch a person’s heart.
He stands here on an exquisitely shaped pedestal of multiple layers, carved in lavish flower and bird patterns surrounded by other sober and ethnic designs. The sculptor has carved each and every curve and shapes with accuracy and smoothness which accentuates the natural beauty of this statue. Krishna is garbed in a highly stylized dhoti ornamented with a long and fairly kamarband and a stole, tied from one end at the left side of the waist and the other hangs down in ease from the right arm; decked-up with astonishing beaded multiple necklaces and large round kundals that match with his bracelets and anklets.
Zoom in to appreciate his thin and long eyebrows raised in the excitement of the sweet tunes from his flute realistically chiseled deep eyes and the long Vaishnava tilak on his forehead. The long uniquely styled crown that glorifies his forehead is sculpted in amazingly beautiful coils in chains and beads with a densely striated peacock feather shaped in the center at the top and a sweet leaf pattern, decorated richly towards the right. Exotic India offers this masterpiece in exclusive three shades of the natural glossy brass, shining copper and gold blend, and the amazing crystalline blue and green tone highlighted with tinges of gold.
