Shyāmasundara to the one who beheld beauty in the dark-hued divine. Madana Mohana to the hearts he enchanted. Brindavana Vihari to those who knew him as the eternal wanderer of Vrindavan’s sacred groves.

Devaki Nandana to the mother who bore him, and to Vasudeva, who carried the divine child across the Yamuna beneath the shelter of the serpent king Adi Shesha. Kanhaiya to Mata Yashoda and Nanda Gopa. Navaneeta Chora to the cowherd boys whose laughter he shared.

Giridhari to the people he sheltered beneath Govardhana Giri. Janardhana to the forces of darkness, Putana in false maternal guise, Trinavarta in whirlwind fury, Bakasura as the fearsome crane, Aghasura as the devouring serpent, Vatsasura as the calf, Dhenukasura as the wild donkey, Kaliya in his venomous coils, Arishtasura as the raging bull, Kesi as the furious horse, Kuvalayapida the enraged elephant, and Shakatasura in the cart itself. Achyuta Keshava to the cursed Shishupala, and Kansantaka to the tyrant king Kamsa.

Radhey Gopal to his beloved Radha. Murali Manohara to the gopikas who surrendered themselves to the music of his divine love.

In the many sacred incarnations of the Shankha Chakra Dhara, there is one presence that travels from the intimacy of the soul to the vastness of the cosmos, Jagannath, the eternal protector. For Krishna was never known by one name alone. For Krishna was never known by one name alone. With every leela came a new invocation. In Shyāmasundarākhyāna, every name becomes a hymn, each a sacred praise of the eternal Krishna.

The iconography of Lakshmi Narayana in the Anantashayana pose is an essential element in traditional Pattachitra paintings dedicated to the life story of Lord Vishnu. Placed at the top of the composition, often marking the beginning of the narrative, it symbolises the artist’s humble prayer, seeking the Lord’s acceptance of the painting as an offering. This Pattachitra painting is a rare rendition in an entirely black-and-white palette, an uncommon choice within the traditional language of Pattachitra, evocative of the very essence of Shyāmasundara, the beautiful dark-hued divine.

As each piece is hand-painted and colours are mixed by hand by the artist, slight variations in colour and shade may occur. Actual product colours may vary slightly depending on your screen settings and display device.
