EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 10th century showcases the divine presence of a young god, Khrishna, accompanied by his loyal cow and half-brother Bala Rama. The image captures a significant moment as the young Khrishna playfully strikes the cow with his cowherds flail, while the gentle creature stands beneath the majestic Bo-tree. Bala Rama, standing behind them both, adds to the familial bond portrayed in this ancient artwork. The photograph beautifully portrays animal behavior as it depicts a mother cow with her calf suckling nearby. Against a striking black background, this studio shot highlights every intricate detail of this historical artifact from Victoria & Albert Museum's collection. This image holds immense religious significance within Hinduism as it represents Khrishna's divine nature and connection to animals. It symbolizes love and harmony between humans and animals while showcasing their mutual respect for one another. Preserved over centuries, this colorized photograph offers us an extraordinary glimpse into ancient beliefs and traditions. As we admire this piece at Museum of Ornamental Art in Victoria & Albert Museum today, we are reminded of our rich cultural heritage and how art can transcend time to tell stories that continue to inspire generations.
