About this image
Thousands of flowers. That is not an exaggeration -- major ISKCON temples use between 200 and 500 kilograms of fresh flowers daily for deity decoration, and on festivals like Janmashtami or Radhashtami, that number doubles. This HD wallpaper shows the art of pushpa alankara at its most spectacular. The divine couple stands at the center of a wall of blooms arranged in geometric precision. Roses form concentric circles. Chrysanthemums build arcing lines. Orchids punctuate corners. Jasmine strings create delicate borders between the bolder flowers. The pattern is symmetrical because symmetry in temple decoration represents the balance of the divine. Radha and Krishna wear matching blue and gold ensembles, their outfits coordinated with the flower palette. A crystal chandelier above adds points of light that catch individual petals and make the entire altar shimmer. This level of flower work has its own practitioners -- decorators who travel between temples and are sought after for major festivals. The skill is passed down through families, and the best decorators work from mental templates without any drawn plan, building massive installations from scratch in a few hours each morning. The grandeur of ISKCON temple photography captured in a single frame. Free HD download for phone and desktop.
