Perhaps one of
the most beautiful love stories in Hinduism, Radha and Krishna is the ultimate
symbol of love. This is why people practicing Hinduism typically give a Radha
Krishna statue to a couple during their wedding anniversary. Epics and myths
say that Lord Vishnu is Krishna while Goddess Lakshmi is Radha. Theirs is
basically a tale of love between a goddess and a god, but in human form. The
name Radha Krishna means “cannot be broken into two.” The love of Radha Krishna
was so strong that they became one.
You can find
a wide range of Radha Krishna statues made from different materials.
Usually made of metal, they can be covered in precious stones such as corals
and turquoise. Stone and wood are also other popular materials for making Radha
Krishna statues. If you are going to give Radha Krishna statues for the wedding
anniversary of a friend, find one that is appropriate for the year. For
example, the 5th year together as a couple is a wood anniversary, so why not give
them a wooden Radha Krishna statue?
You don’t have
to go to India to find an excellent Radha Krishna statue. In fact, you don’t
even need to leave your home or office. You can find online Indian craft and
specialty stores offering religious statues. Shop anytime and anywhere, and see
a wide selection in just a few clicks.
Most statues of
the love couple depict Lord Krishna playing the flute while Radha is standing
and has one palm risen up. A sitting version of the couple is also available
and has a more romantic pose. You can find the couple surrounded or
incorporated with spirit animals, such as cobras, peacocks, and cows. Make sure
to keep in mind the preference or style of the couple you are gifting when
choosing a Radha Krishna statue.
