The exquisitely carved figurine of Lord Krishna is crafted from the purest and finest shivaniwood by expert craftsmen. The mastery of the sculptor is seen in the intricate filigree work and expressive features that seem to come alive on the rich golden grains of the shivaniwood, mounted on a solid pedestal of pure rosewood.
Krishna plays his flute beguiling the cow herder’s daughters with his enchanting melodies and irresistible charisma. He is thought to affirm life by rejoicing in worldly pleasures teaching us to enjoy our time on this earth. Behind Krishna is a cow gently grazing and is enjoying the melodies of Krishna.
As the earth became overrun by militaristic activities of these kingly demons, the demigods including the Earth goddess earnestly sought Lord Vishnu’s protection. Seeing the deteriorating social and political conditions and hearing the prayers of the demigods, the all-compassionate Supreme Lord Sri Krishna decided to descend for the benefit of all.
The Supreme Lord descends from time to time in this material world to reestablish the teachings of the Vedas. In His Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna promises: "Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion--at that time I descend myself. To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I myself appear millennium after millennium."
