KRISHNA RASAMANDALA
Children’s Tee
Lord Krishna is known as the Lord of Love, Compassion, and Tenderness in Hinduism, the 8th incarnation of Lord Vishnu or Supreme Consciousness to earth. His charm and boyhood antics (grew up among the cowherds or Gopis of Northern rural India) are celebrated across South Asia in the forms of music, dance, and theater.
This design and hand drawn illustration was inspired by the Rasamandala. In Sanskrit “Mandala” means circle. Lord Krishna’s prayer “Jai Shri Krishna” is incorporated in Sanskrit language calligraphy.
The story goes all the Gopikas wanted to dance with Lord Krishna, so the magnanimous Lord appeared as 25,000 Krishnas so each girl had a Krishna to dance with!
Cows, peacocks, flowers, and rich vegetation are all associated with Lord Krishna.
With Glitter and Hot pink accents!
