This finely cast brass image presents Krishna within a richly articulated prabhavali. The arch is composed as a continuous unfurling of peacocks on either side, their bodies and feathers flowing into one another with no visible beginning or end.
This rhythmic continuity creates an eternal aureole of beauty and liveliness, a fitting aura for Krishna, the embodiment of bliss, grace, and aesthetic perfection.
In temple iconography, the prabhavali expresses the power and nature of the deity it surrounds, and here the choice of peacocks speaks directly to Krishna’s association with regality, beauty, and the joy of creation.
At the centre of this vivacious enclosure, Krishna stands in tribhanga. His tilted hairdo, a classic marker of his iconography, enhances the sense of playful charm. The short dhoti is etched with remarkable finesse, its incised lines and fluttering tassels appearing light and animated, as though stirred by the music of his flute.
Every detail contributes to the impression that the figure is poised mid-movement rather than fixed in metal. The pedestal beneath him is equally considered, layered with floral ornament and anchored by a kirtimukha emblem at its centre, affirming protection and auspiciousness.
Elevated upon this grand base, Krishna appears both accessible and transcendent, framed by beauty and rhythm. The sculpture as a whole creates a complete visual world, where ornament, posture, and symbolism come together to celebrate Krishna as the lord of all that is joyful, musical, and eternally enchanting.
