Description
A collector's item from Classic India series, this art miniature portrays Krishna, the blue god.
Of all the gods of the Hindu Pantheon, none is more beloved and few have inspired greater works of art and poetry than Krishna, the blue god. His exploits as a naughty child, an adolescent prankster, and amorous lover of the beautiful Radha are legion. But he is also warrior, ruler, and deliverer of the Bhagavad Gita, perhaps the most important of all sacred Hindi texts.
The classic India series portrays the panorama of India's cultural heritage. For centuries India was perceived as the land of fabulous riches, of mystique and romance. It is this magic that the series captures. It provides a window to one of the world's most ancient civilization - anachronistic at times but largely vibrant and alive today.
Each book in this series is a visual delight.
