The divine flute player of Vrindavan
Bhagwan Krishna as Murlidhar, the one who holds the flute, is the most beloved form of the Lord, whose music drew all of Vrindavan to him in love and devotion. This murti shows him standing gracefully in the tribhanga pose, legs crossed, hands raised in the flute-playing posture, with a gentle, playful smile.
Hand-carved from premium white Makrana marble, the same stone used in the Taj Mahal, the statue is polished and painted entirely by hand. A gold crown with a peacock feather, a soft yellow pitambar and fine gold ornaments bring warmth to the pure white marble, making it a graceful presence in any mandir.
