The glorious legends of Radha-Krishna are the crown jewel of Hinduism, which have found followers and devotees across the globe. This brass statue from Nepal presents the eternal togetherness of Radha-Krishna in the idiom of Nepalese art. The couple stands on a Nepalese lotus pedestal, with Krishna in his characteristic Tribhanga or triple bent pose and Radha standing gracefully next to him. Both wear ornate crowns, with fiery halos, intricate earrings, ethnic necklaces, and brocaded dhotis.
Depicted in the iconography of the region, the countenance of Krishna appears similar to the Buddha icons and Radha reminds one of the images of Tara- with gentle, compassionate tranquility on the face. With their eyes closed meditatively and the aesthetic delineation of the visage, Rahda-Krishna in this statute is presented as the supreme deities, the Purusha and Prakriti who are the origin and nurtures of the Universe.
