Radha-Krishna in the Hindu pantheon is representative of a timeless togetherness of the male and female elements- of the divine Parmatman (Krishna), and of the human soul (Radha). Together, they perform a diversity of celestial plays- Lilas, filled with the sweetness of their pure love (Prema).


In the Indian iconographic tradition, the simplest expression of their affection and inseparableness is in the icons where Krishna stands in his distinctive Tribhanga (triple bent) posture, fluting blissfully, while his beloved Radha stands in an equally graceful posture. These Radha-Krishna icons are a sought-after presence in the house of devout Vaishnava, who seeks to immerse themselves in the eternal Prema of Radha-Krishna. Here we have a striking brass Radha-Krishna statue, sculpted from pure brass in the creatively rich idiom of Hoysala art.

The celestial pair is posited on two exquisitely made brass inverted lotuses whose symmetrical leaves create a fitting pedestal for the beauty of Radha-Krishna. Krishna is visualized as a well-built and charming youth, adorned with a unique tilting hairdo secured by a Mayura-mukut (crown with peacock feather).


Using measured etchings on the brass surface, the sculptor has created fine ornamentation for Sri Krishna, whose tassels lyrically flow around his physique, highlighting the grace that is embodied by him. Krishna's limbs are fully-developed, his face rounded and beautified by a Vaishnava U-shaped tilaka, lovely eyes, and pleasantly smiling lips. With his face looking upward dreamily, he plays his Murli (flute) whose nectar-filled tunes enthrall the lovely Sri Radha who stands nearby.


In keeping with the rules of ancient Hindu iconographical treatise, Sri Radha’s statue reaches the shoulder of Krishna in height, with her high raising Juda (bun) adorned with hair ornaments adding to her height and splendor. Floral fringes of her gold crown fall on her shapely shoulders, their tenderness matched only by the lithesome limbs of Radha. The rare and graceful posture of Sri Radha complements the iconographically conventional pose of her beloved with its newness.


Radha is dressed in traditionally fashioned jewelry and a richly decorated dhoti similar to that of Krishna. Her left hand dangles on her side in the Lolahasta mudra, a gesture shared by the icons of female deities in South Indian sculptures. Radha’s right hand reaches her chin coyly, in a manner used to present a continuously delighted beholding of the beloved in art. Just as Krishna ceaselessly bewitches Radha, this divinely radiant brass Radha-Krishna statue will enchant every eye that gets to witness it.


The Divine Beauty: Exploring the Meaning and Symbolism Behind Krishna Statues

Lord Krishna is known by various other names such as Govinda, Gopala, Giridhari, Madanmohan, Radharaman, Maakhanchor, etc. The Vedic scriptures mention Him as the Supreme Lord, the cause of all causes, and the controller of living entities. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna Himself says that there is no Truth superior to Him and that in all the Vedas, He is to be known. Different people see Him differently. Some people see Him as their son, some as their friend, some as their master, and some as their beloved. He is the source of all pleasure and bliss. There are so many pastimes described in the Vedic literature where it is seen that whoever approached and served Lord Krishna with full faith and devotion, was never bewildered even in the greatest calamities, and was always protected by Him. Lord Krishna is therefore the ocean of mercy.

Lord Krishna expands Himself into different forms to fulfill a particular purpose in the material world. For example, to save His five-year-old devotee Prahlad from the ghastly attacks of his demoniac father Hiranyakashipu, the Lord assumed a special form of half-lion and half-man, Narasimha, and appeared from a stone pillar and killed the demon with His sharp nails. This shows an interesting quality of Lord Krishna. He is very possessive about His devotees. He never tolerates blasphemy against them. Those who try to harm them in any way, the Lord punishes them the hardest way.

Is Krishna statue good at home?

If you want to please Lord Krishna with your service and devotion, keeping the deity of the Lord will be good for you. Wherever there is Krishna, there is opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. Worshiping the deity is one of the easiest ways to build a strong relationship with the Lord. There is no difference between the deity of Krishna and Krishna Himself. The Lord said in the Bhagavad Gita that we can worship Him by offering Him a leaf, a flower, water, or a fruit. If the Lord is pleased, you will feel great satisfaction within your heart and you will experience transcendental bliss. Therefore, keeping the deity of Lord Krishna at home and following the necessary rules and regulations in the deity worship process is highly auspicious.

Which Krishna statue can be kept at home?

There is nothing more sublime than serving the lotus feet of Lord Krishna for it is the very aim of human life. Therefore, you can worship any form of Lord Krishna as your heart desires. You can either keep the deity of the original two-handed form of Krishna playing His flute or the childhood form of Krishna eating butter. You may also keep the deity of Krishna along with Srimati Radharani, His internal potency. If you want to attract the causeless mercy of the Lord and engage in His offenseless service, worshiping the deity of Lord Jagannath, the most merciful form of Lord Krishna would be the best for you. Lord Jagannath does not take offenses of the devotees and only looks at their good qualities and intentions.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?


Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

 

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

 

  • The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

 

 

  • To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.


  • In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth. 

 

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
