Krishna, literally meaning "Black God" (black sky), is usually considered as the eighth incarnation of Vishnu. The evil King Kansa of mathura was predicted to die at the hands of his sister's children. So he killed all her children. Later, his sister gave birth to Krishna, and privately took him out of the palace and gave him to the care of the head of a remote suburban village, Wallin Bay. Krishna grew up by the Yemuna River and learned to herd cattle from friends in the village. Although he is a human being, he is also sacred, doing superhuman things, and people around him like him very much. He gradually grew into a heroic young man. He often plays the flute when herding cattle, and the charming flute attracts all the girls in the village. Everyone wants Krsna's favor, which strongly implies the pursuit of the human soul for the combination with God.

Krishna is usually much more important than other incarnations of Vishnu. /kloc-In the late 5th century, in East India, a devout worship of Vishnu, called Gaudiyah Vishnu, was put forward by a teacher, Donnell, and this worship was particularly prominent. Vishnu of Gaudia taught that Krishna is the highest god and the source of all things, even Vishnu (not the other way around). Besides, this complete devotion to Krishna is the road to God.

Perhaps the most common image of Krishna is a shepherd boy who plays the flute. Gopa means cowherd, and Vinu means bamboo flute. The image of the piper and the shepherd boy is often associated with the image of Rada. She is a country girl who is regarded as Krsna's first love and the prototype of human soul. In this sculpture, Krishna raised his hand to his mouth, speculating that the statue might be holding a silver flute. He stood leisurely, his right foot crossed in front of his left foot, and his hips swayed gracefully with his own music. His waist is wrapped in a waist cloth, which is covered with a beautiful belt. His bulging feet are traditionally wearing wooden sandals with balls on their toes, which are often worn by Indian saints.

In Orissa and Bangladesh, the image of a shepherd boy playing the flute, carved with metal and stone, is enshrined not only in temples, but also in family shrines. Because of people's endless love for God, believers express their admiration for Rada and Krishna, two handsome shepherds, day after day.
