This rare bronze presents Krishna in a compelling Dashabhuja form. Krishna plays the flute, his calm inward smile and composed posture anchoring the image in grace and līlā. Around this still core, nine additional arms unfold in a rhythmic arc, each bearing an attribute that expands his identity from pastoral cowherd to universal preserver.
The attributes articulate a complete spectrum of divine meanings. The chakra, shankha, and gada assert Krishna’s identity as Mahavishnu, guardian of cosmic order and time. The ankusha and pasha introduce a subtler dimension, signifying guidance, restraint, and the binding of ignorance.
Alongside these appear emblems of creation and nourishment: the lotus, a sheaf of grain symbolising abundance, and the ikshu khanda or sugarcane stalk, evoking sweetness, fertility, and the sustaining force of life itself. The flute remains central, affirming that even amid power and sovereignty, it is harmony and grace that define his presence.
The sculpture is conceived fully in the round, with each arm precisely spaced to preserve clarity and visual rhythm. Fine modelling animates the torso and limbs, while layered ornaments and flowing garments are rendered with controlled elegance. The surface patina enhances the sculptural depth, revealing a work shaped for ritual movement as much as contemplation.
This Dashabhuja Krishna is not a narrative moment but a complete vision of divinity, where protection, abundance, discipline, and joy exist in perfect equilibrium, offering a powerful and encompassing presence for worship and reflection.
