Fluting Krishna or Murli Manohara is one of the most beautiful symbols of divinity in Hinduism. In this wooden statue, the fluting Lord is presented in a simple and antique iconography, in a monotone wood composition. Adorned with a towering crown, jewels, dhoti, and Tilak on his forehead, Krishna is in the classic Tribhanga or triple bent pose, placing the flute on his lips.
The flow of his garments to his left adds a stunning sense of movement to the wooden statute, which is enhanced by the bustling vines that form the aureole of Krishna. Vegetation in Hindu symbolism is a motif used to express the emergence of life and universe, a perfect addition to the celestial Lila of Krishna, whose sweet flute nurtures the Srishti eternally.
