The fluting Lord
Krishna appears in his most divine Chaturbhuja Narayana avatar, an iconography
popularized by bronzes to underline the supreme powers of Krishna. In Tribhanga
or triple bent pose, Krishna stands on a lotus pedestal, holding his flute in his
primary hands and conch and discus (the attributes of Vishnu) in his secondary
hands. His ornaments- crown, earrings, necklace, and dhoti is beautifully
delineated. A smile etched on his countenance gives the aura of being in the
presence of Krishna, who animates the icon with his essence. Sculpted in a
rounded manner, with fine details captured to perfection, this statue of
Krishna is a powerful and heavenly icon for worshipping Kanha in your home.
The Enchanting Melody of the Divine
This exquisite bronze statue captures the divine presence of Lord Krishna in his enchanting form as Venugopal, the divine flautist. Rendered in a rich, warm bronze, this piece embodies the timeless devotion and serene beauty associated with the Hindu deity. Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu, is celebrated for his playful nature, profound wisdom, and the melodious tunes of his flute that captivated all beings, from the gopis of Vrindavan to the very animals of the forest.
A Symbol of Devotion and Joy
The figure is depicted in a characteristic tribhanga pose, a graceful triple bend of the body that signifies divine fluidity and aesthetic perfection. Krishna's hands are delicately poised, one holding the divine flute to his lips, the other raised as if in a gesture of blessing or playfully holding a peacock feather. The intricate details of his attire, the divine ornaments, and the serene expression on his face speak volumes of the artistry and devotion poured into its creation. The patina of the bronze adds a depth and character, hinting at the ancient traditions from which this art form originates.
