One of the things India is richest in is her mythology and lore. Countless tales come pouring out of our mythology. We’ve all heard them – different versions, from different people, with varied plotlines. But their symbolism has always been unwavering. Through generations and through history.
Amongst these engrossing stories, one character remains unmissable. Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu and the God of Love. Whether we’re familiar with his tales of wisdom from the Mahabharata or the mischievous ones with the gopis, we’re all familiar with the adoration this divine being evokes. He is best known for his deep philosophies, delightful humour, keen perspectives and unbridled passion.
And wherever there is Krishna, there are his iconic symbols – the mor pankh (peacock feather) and the bansuri (flute).
