Shri Krishna Sharanam Mamah (श्री कृष्ण शरणम मम:): The incarnation of Lord Vishnu, Krishna was born to Devaki and Vasudeva in Mathura and looked after by Nand and Yashoda in Vrindavan. The mischievous Lord is prayed to mostly in his baby and youth form widely across India and beyond. The sole objective of Sri Krishna’s birth was to free the Earth from the evilness of demons. He played an important role in Mahabharata and propagated the theory of bhakti and good karma which are narrated deeply in the Bhagwat Gita.
Krishna is easily recognized by his representations. Though his skin colour may be depicted as black or dark in some representations, particularly in murtis, in other images such as modern pictorial representations, Krishna is usually shown with blue skin. He has been described as having skin, the colour of Jambul (Jamun, a purple-coloured fruit). He is also known to have four symbols of the jambu fruit on his right foot as mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavata commentary.
Krishna is often depicted wearing a silk golden yellow dhoti, and a peacock feather crown. In this form, he usually stands with one leg bent in front of the other in the Tribhanga posture, accompanied by cows, emphasising his position as the divine herdsman, Govinda, or with the gopis (milkmaids).Other depictions show him stealing butter from neighbouring houses in the form of Gopalakrishna, defeating the vicious serpent in the form of Navneet Chora or Gokulakrishna or lifting the Govardhan hill in the form of Giridhara Krishna. Still other depictions recount other childhood exploits.

Krishna is also depicted and worshipped as an infant (Bala Krishna), crawling on his hands and knees, or dancing, often with butter or Laddu in his hand being Laddu Gopal. Regional variations in the iconography of Krishna are seen in his different forms, such as Jagannath of Odisha, Vithoba of Maharashtra, Venkateswara (also Srinivasa or Balaji) in Andhra Pradesh, and Shrinathji in Rajasthan and also as a new born cosmic infant sucking his toe while floating on a banyan leaf during the Pralaya (the cosmic dissolution) at the end of universe observed by sage Markandeya.
