A brass Krishna statue, 24 inches tall, standing in tribhanga — the three-bend posture, weight on one leg with the other crossed behind — and playing the bansuri. This is Krishna as Venugopal, the flute player, the form most often kept in homes and the one associated with Vrindavan. He stands on a layered lotus pedestal set on an octagonal foot, backed by an engraved lotus-mandala halo disc.

Why this one

  • It is finished in the round. The back is fully sculpted — engraved dhoti with rosette medallions, layered hair, and a full lotus-mandala halo. Most cast statues at this size are left plain behind because they are assumed to go against a wall. This one can stand in the middle of a room.
  • 12 kg of solid brass. That is over 26 pounds. Nothing hollow-cast or plated comes close — the weight is the single clearest proof of what this is made of, and you feel it the moment you try to move it.
  • 24 inches is a genuine statement scale. This is a floor or console piece, not a shelf ornament.
  • Hand-engraved throughout — the crown and its tiered finial, the layered necklaces and armbands, the waistband, the pendant garland, the foliate scrollwork flanking the figure on both sides.
  • Warm brass with darkened recesses, so the engraving reads as depth rather than flattening into a single bright surface.

Where it works

Home temple or pooja room, as the principal murti rather than a supporting piece. Entryway or foyer, where the scale carries. Living room console, mantel or floor corner. Meditation and yoga spaces. Also used in restaurants, studios and reception areas that want one substantial Indian piece rather than several small ones.

Gifting

Krishna is given at housewarmings and griha pravesh, at weddings, and at Janmashtami, his birth festival. Also a milestone gift — an anniversary, a retirement, a new home — where the scale is part of the point.

Frequently asked questions

How big is it, really?
24 inches tall including the lotus base, 7 inches wide and 5 inches deep, weighing 12 kg — around 26.5 pounds. Allow clearance on all sides: the 7 inch flute and the flanking scrollwork sit proud of the body. Make sure whatever it stands on can carry the weight.

Which form of Krishna is this?
Venugopal, also called Murlidhar — Krishna standing and playing the bansuri. It is the most common form kept in Indian homes, distinct from the infant Bal Gopal or the charioteer Parthasarathi.

What is tribhanga?
The three-bend stance used in Indian sculpture: the body curves at the neck, waist and knee. It is the classical posture for Krishna with the flute and gives the figure its relaxed, musical line.

Is the back finished?
Yes, fully. Engraved dhoti, layered hair and a complete lotus-mandala halo disc. It does not need to be placed against a wall.

Will the finish change over time?
Brass darkens naturally. Polish it back with a standard brass cleaner if you prefer it bright, or leave it to deepen — both are normal and neither harms the piece.

How do I clean it?
Dust with a dry cloth, working into the engraving with a soft brush. Avoid water and never use a dishwasher. Use brass polish sparingly and buff dry.

Can it go outdoors?
It is made for indoor use. Brass weathers and spots outdoors, so keep it sheltered.

What if it arrives damaged?
Shipping is insured. Photograph the damage, email contact@urliutsav.com, and we will replace it or make it right.

Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days in original condition and packaging. Return shipping is arranged and paid by the customer, so please check the dimensions against your space first.
