When Uddhava, Krishna’s friend and counselor reached Vrindavana and approached Radha Ji, with the news that Krishna, contrary to his promise to her, was never coming back from Mathura, his steps halted as he heard Radha’s conversation with a bee. Struck by the pain of separation from Krishna, Radha was in a state of frenzied agony. Comparing the dark insect with Krishna, Radha was lamenting that she trusted the dark-skinned boy. Just like the Madhu-pa (bumblebee), Madhupati (Lord of Madhupuri or Mathura) Krishna was also untrustworthy and deceitful. “Madhu” (honey or sweetness) is a commonly used adjective for Krishna- who is seen by his devotees as the reservoir of all the pleasantness of the world. From head to toe, every element of Krishna represents the manifestation of divine beauty. Presented in an ethereal-looking, dark-toned brass, the transcendentally enchanting Roopa (form) of Krishna could not have found a better medium.
Krishna’s body bends gorgeously, like a creeper, as he blows the flute placed on his lips as soft as the petals of a freshly blossomed lotus. Felicitating his heavenly beauty, the artist has adorned him in Makara- themed jewelry- Makara being a motif that signifies the auspicious beauty of the godhead. His face, framed by the ornate lower portion of his imposing crown and prettified by the stylized and symmetrical eyebrows and almond eyes is exquisiteness at its absolute best. Youthful and charming- the celestial Kishora (adolescent) Krishna inspires affection in the hearts of the motherly, romance in the hearts of the lovers, and devotion in the hearts of the devotee.
The magnificence and appeal of gold on black-colored metal in this Krishna murti cannot be covered in a few lines. Enthroned in the place of worship, Krishna will revitalize the space with the sublime waves of the limitless celestial splendor that is flowing from this awe-inspiring statue.
