Kirtimukha- the face of glory visible in the aureoles of Hindu deities, is a symbol of devotion and self-surrender. It says that glory or Kirti comes from renunciation of self in the lotus feet of the god, inspiring the maker of this stunning bronze icon, to use the Kirtimukha emblem to adorn the episode of “Kaliya-Maan’Mardana”, the Lila of Krishna ending in the surrender of the notorious serpent-Kaliya.
Natawara- the greatest dancer Krishna moves, striking the Kunchita-pada asana (also seen in the icons of Nritya-Ganapati), a position where balance and dynamism unite.
Round earrings, ornate hairdo, beaded necklace, waist belt, and floating floral garland all add to the dottingness of dancing Krishna.
The most spectacular element is the ornamentation of the Kirtimukha, highlighting the aura of Krishna, and aesthetically announcing the beauty of this divine moment.
