Balakrishna

Krishna temple at Vijayanagar Hampi ruins, Bellary District. About 15th Century AD.

The image of Balakrishna seated with left leg on the seat and the right leg hanging down. Unfortunately both the hands are broken and missing except the fingers of the left hand. The hair is arranged in a knot over the head and the kundalas are shaped like small sankhas. The forehead bears the sandal paste mark which is a characteristic mark of this period. It is the war trophy of king Krishna Deva Raya.
