The whole sculpture is a profusion of decorative ambience; and why should it not be, when Lord Krishna Himself is the source of all that is beautiful in this world. The expression of beauty in this statue is amply exemplified in the long necklaces set with marvellously shaped gems, while the towering crown reminds one of the ‘shikhara’ (spires) seen at the top of temples. The crown fits in well with the flame-like halo rising behind Krishna’s head. This halo is not only framed by lotus petals, but also its inside is dotted with granulations.
Lord Krishna’s dhoti too is densely packed with decorative incisions, and is held together at the waist by a band hung with numerous tassels. He wears bracelets, armlets and also anklets which reach up to His toes. Flowing vines and creepers climb up the two sides to frame His body and a peacock can be seen at the left top of this lush vegetative maze laden with ripe fruits.
This sculpture inspires us to remember Lord Krishna whenever we encounter anything beautiful in this world, recalling Him to be its source.
This sculpture was created in the city of Aligarh, in the central Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
