A stunning Hoysala style carving of Lord Krishna. Krishna was carved in the Hoysala style originated in Halebid, India.
The style is very ornate as you can plainly see from the abundance of
jewelry and other ornaments that cover the entire piece as well as the
spiraling vines that swirl in and out of each other in the arch of the
piece. The figure of Krishna has two cows carved into the base he is standing on. Krishna is often depicted around cows as he is known for playing his flute to beguile the cow herders' daughters or gopis. In this sculpture Krishna is playing his flute. Krishna is surrounded by a total of 10 peacocks in the midst of vegetation plus the one directly above his head. There are two yali's as well standing on both sides of the base with Krishna. A yali is a mythical beast that is a cross between a lion, an elephant and an alligator. Krishna is standing on a pink double lotus flower base.
The painting scheme is adopted from the bright colors used in south Indian temples. The temples are known for their large gopurams or towers that rise up into the sky decorated with various gods and goddesses. The gopurams are painted in vibrant colors which mirror the vibrant life of south India.

One of the most widely revered and most popular of all Indian divinities, is Krishna worshipped as the eighth incarnation (avatar) of Vishnu. Krishna became the focus of a large number of devotional cults, which over the centuries have produced a wealth of religious poetry, music, painting and sculpture.
The child Krishna was adored for his mischievous pranks; he also performed many miracles and slew demons. As a youth, the cowherd Krishna became renown as a lover, the sound of his flute prompting gopis (wives and daughters of the cowherds) to leave their homes to dance ecstatically with him in the forests. His favorite among them was the beautiful Radha. Krishna's youthful dalliances with the gopis are interpreted as symbolic of the loving interplay between God and the human soul. Krishna affirms life in his pranks, music and lovemaking.
The rich variety of legends associated with Krishna's life led to an abundance of representation in painting and sculpture. The most reknown story surrounding Krishna is the Bahgavad Gita or Gita which is considered one of the most importatnt Hindu texts. The Gita is the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna. Krishna is explaining to Arjuna that it is Arjuna's moral obligation to fight in a war that will put him against some members of his family. Krishna like Vishnu is an upholder of the moral order of the universe.
