We are living in an evil age, the age of Kali, but can
attain salvation and a "return to Godhead" by means of permanent
Krishna-consciousness. Krishna-consciousness can be accomplished through
ethical living and the "Hare Krishna" chant , is believed to bring
about a higher state of consciousness when it is chanted, sung, or meditated
upon. It is thought to be the most effective means of self-purification. Krishna (an avatar of Vishnu) is the
Supreme Lord and that humans are eternal spiritual beings trapped in a
cycle of reincarnation. The nature of the cycle for individual beings is
determined by karma, the law of the consequences of past actions, which returns
beings to physical existence.
Krishna Consciousness & eternal love that Hindus
have for this creator & savior of Earth has no boundaries, Indian artists
have explored all expressions that they can imagine for the their love of Lord
Krishna that thousands of creative presentations are found specially on this
subject. Juneja Art Gallery brings to

Chhavi of Krishna, by Arpana Caur, Ashok Hazra, Dipika Hazra, R.K.Yadav,
Yugal Kishore Sharma, Niren Sen Gupta, Shail Choyal, Late P.N. Choyal
, V.S.Upadhyay, Surjit Akre.
Krishna is easily
recognized by his representations. Though his skin color may be depicted as
black or dark in some representations, particularly in murtis, in other images
such as modern pictorial representations, Krishna is usually shown with a blue
skin. He is often shown wearing a silk dhoti and a peacock feather crown.
Common depictions show him as a little boy, or as a young man in a
characteristically relaxed pose, playing the flute. In this form, he usually
stands with one leg bent in front of the other with a flute raised to his lips,
in the Tribhanga posture, accompanied by cows, emphasizing his position as the
divine herdsman, Govinda, or with the gopis (milkmaids) i.e. Gopikrishna,
stealing butter from neighbouring houses i.e. Navneet Chora or Gokulakrishna,
defeating the vicious serpent i.e. Kaliya Damana Krishna, lifting the hill i.e.
Giridhara Krishna ..so on and so forth from his childhood / youth events that
are reported in Hindu texts.
Krishna is also depicted and worshipped as a small child
(Bala Krishna, Bāla Kṛṣṇa
the child Krishna), crawling on his hands and knees or dancing, often with
butter or Laddu in his hand being Laddu Gopal.Regional variations in the
iconography of Krishna are seen in his different forms, such as Jaganatha of
Odisha, Vithoba of Maharashtra, Venkateswara (also Srinivasa or Balaji) in
Andhra Pradesh, and Shrinathji in Rajasthan.
