Radha Krishna Statue

Radha Krishna Statue

Radha Krishna embodies the highest expression of prem-bhakti in Sanatan Dharma — the eternal, selfless love between the individual soul (Radha) and the Supreme (Krishna). Marble has long been the chosen medium to sculpt this divine pair because its unblemished whiteness mirrors the purity of their bond, and its density holds crisp detail through generations of aarti and worship. A hand-carved marble Radha Krishna murti brings that eternal love story into your daily prayer, softening the space with quiet devotion.

At PLPS Art Gallery, each Radha Krishna statue is carved entirely by hand — no machines — at our Chandpole Bazaar workshop in Jaipur, where our family has sculpted marble deities since 1950. Our founder, Late Pandit Lallu Prasad Sharma, received the Shilp Guru honour and the Presidential Award in 1991; four generations of artisans continue his tradition. You choose your marble: dense Makrana white for heirloom pieces, softer Vietnam white for a lighter budget, or warm-hued Bhainslana golden for a distinctive glow.

Traditionally, Krishna is sculpted in tribhanga — the graceful three-bend stance — playing his bansuri with the left foot crossed, while Radha stands beside him in ardh-tribhanga with her right hand raised in gentle recognition. We also carve dancing rasa-lila poses and seated Jhula variations. For placement, Vastu recommends the Ishaan (north-east) corner of your home mandir, idol facing east or west, positioned three to five feet from the floor so the deities meet you at chest height during pranam.

Sizes range from a 6-inch travel murti for a car dashboard or study, through 1-3 foot pieces for a home mandir, up to 6-foot and larger installations for temples and haveli entrances. Order a single embracing Yugal murti or a separated Jugal Jodi pair. Optional detailing includes 22-carat Swarna Karya gold leaf on crown and jewellery, mineral-pigment painted lehenga and pitambar, custom pagdi styles, inlaid semi-precious stones, and personalised inscription on the base.

Custom commissions are welcomed and typically take 30 to 90 days depending on size and detail. Share your reference photograph or mandir dimensions with our workshop and we will guide you through stone selection, iconography, and secure insured delivery anywhere in India or abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions

For a Radha Krishna murti meant to stay in your family for generations, we recommend Makrana marble — the same stone used at the Taj Mahal and Dilwara temples. Its high density holds fine details like Krishna's peacock feather and Radha's ornaments crisply for decades and gains a soft patina with worship. Vietnam white is a smoother, more affordable option ideal for medium home mandirs where the piece will be painted or gold-leafed. Bhainslana carries a warm golden vein that suits carved-jhula and temple-installation work particularly well.

According to Vastu, the ideal spot is the Ishaan (north-east) corner of your home mandir or living area — the most spiritually receptive quadrant of the house. Place the murti three to five feet above the ground so the deities meet you at chest height during pranam, with the idols facing east or west and the devotee facing east while worshipping. Avoid the south direction, bedrooms, spaces directly under staircases, and any wall shared with a bathroom. Never let your feet point toward the idol while sleeping or sitting.

A Yugal murti carves Radha and Krishna together on one continuous marble block — they may be embracing, holding hands, or standing shoulder to shoulder under a common base and canopy. A Jugal Jodi is two separate murtis carved individually and placed side by side, allowing you to install a taller peacock arch or jhula between them and to move each idol independently during abhishekam and vastraharan. Both forms are traditional; the choice depends on your mandir width and how you plan to perform daily seva.

Yes. Every PLPS Radha Krishna statue is hand-carved to order, so poses (standing tribhanga, dancing rasa-lila, seated jhula), Krishna's crown and mor-mukut style, Radha's pallu drape, and jewellery detailing can all be adjusted to your vision. For colour work we use mineral pigments that do not fade for the lehenga, pitambar and eyes, and offer 22-carat Swarna Karya gold-leaf application on crowns, ornaments and the flute. Send a reference photograph or a rough sketch and our artisans will draft a stone-marking preview before carving begins.

A 1-2 foot standard Radha Krishna murti in white Makrana or Vietnam marble typically takes 30 to 45 days from the day the stone is selected. Larger 3-6 foot pieces, or statues with detailed painted lehenga, extensive gold-leaf work, or a carved peacock-arch canopy, take 60 to 90 days. Every commission passes through Shila Pariksha (stone inspection), Rekhankan (sacred marking), carving, Chikni (hand polishing) and optional Swarna Karya. Domestic shipping across India takes 5 to 10 days; international freight with full insurance is 15 to 25 days.

For daily care, dust the statue gently with a soft dry cotton cloth or a fine natural-bristle brush, paying attention to the flute holes, jewellery grooves and the folds of Radha's lehenga. Once a week wipe with a barely damp cloth using plain water — never use soap, vinegar, lemon, or commercial marble cleaners, as acids etch the polish and dull the surface. After abhishekam, dry the murti immediately. Avoid direct sunlight through a window (which can yellow the marble) and re-polish with fine chalk paste every two to three years.
