Yashoda And Krishna: Divine Motherhood

This sculpture captures the tender moment of Yashoda holding young Krishna in her arms. Yashoda is shown in traditional attire with her head covered, adorned with jewelry, exuding maternal grace. Baby Krishna rests against her shoulder, holding his flute and wearing a peacock feather in his hair.

In Vaishnava tradition, Yashoda is revered as the foster mother of Krishna, who raised the divine child in Gokul. This depiction emphasizes the deep love and everyday intimacy between mother and son, where the infinite is embraced in the arms of the earthly.
