Lord Krishna Images HD -- Free Wallpapers & Photos

Lord Krishna -- the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu and the supreme deity of the Vaishnava tradition -- is the most depicted god in Hindu art. His divine story spans the full range of human emotion: the mischievous child stealing butter in Vrindavan, the young cowherd playing his flute for the gopis, the warrior lifting the Govardhan mountain, the charioteer revealing the Bhagavad Gita on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.

This collection brings together the full breadth of Krishna iconography. You will find the eternal love of Radha and Krishna -- perhaps the most searched devotional image in India -- depicted in golden temple settings, moonlit forest scenes, and classical calendar art styles. Baby Krishna (Bal Gopal) images capture the beloved butter-stealing child crawling toward a pot of makhan, laughing with divine mischief. The Govardhan Leela images show Krishna lifting the entire mountain on his little finger to shelter the village of Vrindavan from Indra's wrath.

The dark blue or bluish-black complexion of Krishna is one of the most distinctive features in Hindu art -- it represents the infinite sky and the unfathomable depths of the divine. His flute is inseparable from his identity: the sound of Krishna's flute (bansuri or murali) is said to call all living beings back toward the divine.

Whether you are looking for a wallpaper for your phone, a devotional image for your puja room, or a WhatsApp status for Janmashtami, this collection offers Krishna in every mood and form. Free HD download for phone and desktop.
