26 inch Height X 10 inch Width x 9.5 inch Depth - Krishna

25.5 inch Height X 9.5 inch Width x 9.5 inch Depth - Radha


A pair of Radha-Krishna statues, standing on the pistils of twin ornate lotus blooms. Of identical stance and stature. The tribhanga stance is a quintessentially Vaishnavite thing and exceedingly popular in the iconography of Krishna. The word is a portmanteau of ‘tri’, which means three, and ‘bhanga’, which means broken or jutted. It refers to the fact that the form of Radha and Krishna are jutting out laterally at three different junctures namely the shoulders, the hips, and the ankles. This makes for a divinely seductive silhouette.


A great deal of detail in terms of shringar has been introduced into the composition. The richly embroidered dhoti of Krishna and the flowing pleats of Radha’s saree. Fresh flower garlands sweeping down their torsos, indicative of dance motion. Tall, luxuriantly engraved crowns. Symmetrical sprigs of vine framing their divine faces; a halo behind the head of Krishna. Vines cascade from every curve and juncture of the divine figures, a visual element of of tribute to the wilderness of Vrindavan.

In their togetherness, the Vrindavan lovers are a sight to behold. The handsome young cowherd, and the finest of the milkmaids (‘gopis’). Avatara of Lord Vishnu; Her Lakshmi-roopa (Lakshmi-like) chhavi (image). The flute between His fingers, the divine music of which pervades the evergreen forests of North India; and the dance of His devoted lover that holds Him captive. Lord Krishna and His Radha are the most iconic amorous duo of Indian culture.


The twin murti that you see on this page depicts the two in the finest of their iconography. He is the tribhanga murari (the body juts out at three different junctures as He plays on His instrument), while She is caught in the same tribhanga stance amidst a dance of abandon. The sharply engraved features of their faces are set off by different styles of crowns - His is a multi-tiered number, while Hers features a lotus blooming in the mouth of a milk-pot. The halo behind His head, and the asymmetrical sprigs of vine that flank their respective faces. Note the lotus-bud to the right of Radha’s crowned head, symbolic of the Devi Lakshmi within Her.


The figurines are each wrapped in a coat of luscious vine. They wind around the supple arms of Krishna and Radha, cascade around their hips with the adornments streaming down their torso, and reach all the way down to the upturned lotus pedestals upon which they stand. Beneath the dense network of vines, the artisan has paid considerable attention to the detail of their attire and silhouette, which boast of a realistic finish.


The Divine Beauty: Exploring the Meaning and Symbolism Behind Krishna Statues

Lord Krishna is known by various other names such as Govinda, Gopala, Giridhari, Madanmohan, Radharaman, Maakhanchor, etc. The Vedic scriptures mention Him as the Supreme Lord, the cause of all causes, and the controller of living entities. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna Himself says that there is no Truth superior to Him and that in all the Vedas, He is to be known. Different people see Him differently. Some people see Him as their son, some as their friend, some as their master, and some as their beloved. He is the source of all pleasure and bliss. There are so many pastimes described in the Vedic literature where it is seen that whoever approached and served Lord Krishna with full faith and devotion, was never bewildered even in the greatest calamities, and was always protected by Him. Lord Krishna is therefore the ocean of mercy.

Lord Krishna expands Himself into different forms to fulfill a particular purpose in the material world. For example, to save His five-year-old devotee Prahlad from the ghastly attacks of his demoniac father Hiranyakashipu, the Lord assumed a special form of half-lion and half-man, Narasimha, and appeared from a stone pillar and killed the demon with His sharp nails. This shows an interesting quality of Lord Krishna. He is very possessive about His devotees. He never tolerates blasphemy against them. Those who try to harm them in any way, the Lord punishes them the hardest way.

Is Krishna statue good at home?

If you want to please Lord Krishna with your service and devotion, keeping the deity of the Lord will be good for you. Wherever there is Krishna, there is opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. Worshiping the deity is one of the easiest ways to build a strong relationship with the Lord. There is no difference between the deity of Krishna and Krishna Himself. The Lord said in the Bhagavad Gita that we can worship Him by offering Him a leaf, a flower, water, or a fruit. If the Lord is pleased, you will feel great satisfaction within your heart and you will experience transcendental bliss. Therefore, keeping the deity of Lord Krishna at home and following the necessary rules and regulations in the deity worship process is highly auspicious.

Which Krishna statue can be kept at home?

There is nothing more sublime than serving the lotus feet of Lord Krishna for it is the very aim of human life. Therefore, you can worship any form of Lord Krishna as your heart desires. You can either keep the deity of the original two-handed form of Krishna playing His flute or the childhood form of Krishna eating butter. You may also keep the deity of Krishna along with Srimati Radharani, His internal potency. If you want to attract the causeless mercy of the Lord and engage in His offenseless service, worshiping the deity of Lord Jagannath, the most merciful form of Lord Krishna would be the best for you. Lord Jagannath does not take offenses of the devotees and only looks at their good qualities and intentions.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?


Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

 

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

 

  • The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

 

 

  • To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.


  • In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth. 

 

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
