Lord Krishna, divinely young and handsome, traverses the wilderness surrounding Vrindavan. His herds His friends, the cows, a sweet friendship that is the stuff of lore in India to this day. The murti that you see on this page depicts the Vrindavan cowherd with a calf right behind Him, its head turned towards the music emanating from His flute.
Sculpted from brass, this Krishna murti is characterised by intricate detail. An ornate crown with peacock plumage at the zenith. Large eyes swimming with lifelike expression. Garlands and gold adornments and the complex folds of the angavastram cascading down the hips. From the dense embroidery on His dhoti to the distinguished digits of Krishna’s hands and feet, each aspect of this composition has been executed with skill and shraddha.
As such, this murti would be a valuable addition to the home or office temple of the truly devoted. A plinth engraved with lotus petals and the adornments up the neck of the cow, complete the image. Not only is this work of deep spiritual value, but it is also an example of superb craftsmanship.
