A widely adored deity fashioned from an age-old, highly venerated medium. Lord Krishna is the most popular of the dashavataras of Lord Vishnu. A cowherd from Vrindavan, a charmer of innocent cows and milkmaids (gopiya) alike. In this solemn bronze composition, He is in His tribhanga murari roopa (form), so-called because the body of the divine flute-player (murari) justs out (‘bhanga’) at three (‘tri’) different junctures, namely the shoulder, the hip, and the ankle.

South India is home to India’s rich bronze sculptural tradition. Under the patronage of first the rulers of the Chola dynasty, followed by those of the Pallava dynasty, Indian bronzes evolved to a particular style in terms of both theme and aesthetic finish. The composition that you see on this page is a fine example of the same. A devotional Lord Krishna iconography replete with a world of details to be found only in contemporary Swamimalai bronzes and undertones of moss and gold.

A multi-tiered pedestal with distinctively carved lotus petals. The finely sculpted, lifelike digits on both the feet and hands of the Lord. Slender limbs and an elongated torso to match. Immaculate adornments, fit for a divine being. An angular face set with the handsomest of features. Finally, a crown that is reminiscent of ancient templetops of the South.

The Divine Melody: Lord Krishna in Tribhanga Pose

This exquisite bronze statue captures the enchanting essence of Lord Krishna in his iconic "Tribhanga" posture. The name "Tribhanga" itself signifies a graceful, threefold bending of the body – the neck, waist, and knee – creating a fluid, dynamic, and deeply spiritual form. In this rendition, Murari, an epithet for Krishna meaning "destroyer of the demon Mura," is depicted as the celestial musician, his divine breath coaxing melodies from his flute that are said to have enchanted the very universe. This statue is more than just an artistic representation; it is a conduit to the timeless tales of Lord Krishna's divine play. Imagine the Gopis of Vrindavan, captivated by the ethereal music that drifted through the forests, leaving their daily chores and earthly concerns behind to dance in divine rapture. The very air would hum with the magic of his flute, and this sculpture embodies that transformative power. Krishna, as the eighth avatar of Vishnu, is revered as the preserver and protector, and his playful, yet profoundly wise, nature is perfectly encapsulated in this graceful stance.

An Artisan's Masterpiece from Swamimalai

Crafted with profound skill by artisans from Swamimalai, a renowned center for traditional South Indian bronze casting, this statue is a testament to centuries-old techniques. The Panchaloha, or "five metals," used in its creation, imbues the sculpture with a unique patina and a sense of enduring sanctity. The intricate details, from the delicate folds of Krishna's dhoti to the ornate carvings on his headdress and jewelry, speak of meticulous craftsmanship and deep devotion. The artist's ability to imbue the cold metal with such life and movement is truly remarkable. Each curve, each expression, is rendered with a sensitivity that draws the viewer into the divine presence of the deity. The verdigris patina adds an ancient charm, suggesting the passage of time and the enduring reverence for Lord Krishna.

A Symbol of Joy, Devotion, and Cosmic Harmony

Possessing this magnificent bronze statue is to invite a sense of peace, joy, and spiritual connection into your home or sacred space. Lord Krishna, the mischievous cowherd boy, the divine charioteer, and the supreme philosopher, embodies love, compassion, and the pursuit of dharma. His music transcends earthly boundaries, reminding us of the underlying harmony of the cosmos. Whether as a centerpiece for your altar, a cherished heirloom, or a statement of your spiritual journey, this representation of Murari in his most beloved form will undoubtedly inspire and uplift. The Tribhanga pose itself is a metaphor for the surrender of the self, a yielding to a higher force, and a celebration of life's intricate beauty. This sculpture serves as a constant reminder of the divine presence that surrounds us, waiting to be awakened by the sweetest of melodies.
