Soft colors and stylized carving in this wooden statute beautifully unveil the divine form of Krishna as Venugopala or the fluting protector of cows. One of the most popular images of Krishna in Hindu art, this aspect presents Krishna in his triple bent pose, with a flute on his lips, creating sweet tunes that are enjoyed by his bovine companion.
In this wooden statute, Krishna is envisioned as the cosmic Narayana, a four-armed protector of the Universe. He has a unique South Indian hairdo, fine ornaments, and a Pitambara or yellow dhoti adorning his gentle blue body. Blooming creepers form the aureole around the statue, as a symbol of the joy of nature, in the company of the supreme being.
