Immerse yourself in the divine tales with our Kalinga Krishna sculpture, a mesmerizing creation through Madhuchista Vidhanam in Swamimalai's Panchaloha Bronze. This piece beautifully portrays Lord Krishna subduing the serpent Kalinga. The legend goes that the Yamuna River in Vrindavan was home to a serpent known as Kalinga, who poisoned the whole river, making life extremely difficult for the locals and their animals. There, he sought refuge from Garuda, his foe. Kalinga sought to assassinate Lord Krishna when he dived into the river to collect a ball. Subsequently, Krishna grew to such a size as to subjugate Kalinga and began dancing on his hood.
At the urging of Kalinga's wives, and only after Kalinga vowed to do no damage to anyone, Lord Krishna spared him. Since his hood now bore the footprints of Lord Krishna, Kalinga consented to return home and prevent Garuda from hurting him. Beyond its artistic allure, the sculpture embodies the Hindu philosophical concept of 'Triumph over Adversity,' symbolizing Krishna's victory over the symbolic serpent of challenges. The lost-wax technique intricately captures the dynamic moment, inviting you to reflect on the triumph of divine wisdom over life's adversities.
