Krishna with Cow Idol

Krishna stands before a tree with a cow at his side and a peacock nearby, the scene from Vrindavan that devotees know best. The whole group is cast as one piece in metal and finished in a golden polish.

The Whole Vrindavan Scene in One Casting

Most Krishna idols show the deity alone. Here the cow, the peacock and the tree are part of the same piece, which is why it reads as a scene rather than a figure, and why it holds attention on a shelf longer than a plain standing murti does. The cow stands for nurture, the peacock for beauty, and together they carry the associations of Krishna's Vrindavan years.

Metal and finish

It is cast in premium metal and given a golden polish that keeps its shine with nothing more than a dry cloth. The weight is solid enough that it sits steady on an altar shelf without needing a stand.
