This hand made, bronze sculpture is a one-of-a-kind statue, hand cast by the artists of south India.

Special features:  This statue depicts the synthesis of both Krishna and Vishnu into one form.  Venugopal has 4 arms two of which play the flute.  The flute is an attribute mainly associated with Krishna.  Venugopal's other two hands hold a discus and a conch two symbols associated with Vishnu.  The conch represents "Om", the first sound of creation and also the beginning of matter, since sound and matter are consider to be synonymous.  The discus is thought to represent the sun.  Vishnu, like Shiva, was originally a minor deity with only five out to 1,028 hymns in the Rig Veda addressed to him.  He seems to have been derived from a  solar deity.  The discus is a vestige of his solar origins.

Care:  The piece can be used both indoors and outdoors.  Dust the piece regularly.  If you would like the piece to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the statue.
