Bal Krishna | 1905 | Raja Ravi Varma

Raja Ravi Varma | 1905

A charming portrayal of Bal Krishna, this artwork captures the playful innocence of Lord Krishna during his childhood, symbolising the purity of divine love, joy and affection. Depicted reaching into a pot of butter, Krishna embodies the beloved Makhan Chor, whose mischievous acts hold a deeper spiritual meaning. The butter represents the pure essence of devotion, while his playful nature reflects the belief that the divine can be experienced through simplicity, tenderness and unconditional love.
