Muralidhara: The Flute-Bearer Of Vrindavan

This elegant model captures Lord Krishna as a youthful deity, standing in the classic tribhanga pose atop a lotus pedestal, a symbol of spiritual purity and divine birth. He is shown playing the flute, his signature gesture, which in Vaishnava tradition represents the call of the divine to the soul. Richly adorned and crowned, this form reflects Krishna’s identity as both the playful cowherd of Vrindavan and the supreme cosmic ruler. The fine detailing and flowing garments evoke traditional Indian metalwork aesthetics, lending grace and reverence to the form.
