Samkarsana Balarama
This statue is of 'Sankarshan Balrama', the elder brother of Lord Shri Krishna. The word 'Sankarshan' originates from the Sanskrit language, which means 'haldhar'. According to Vaishnavism, Vishnu takes various forms to save the world, and Vasudeva, as well as 'Sankarshan', lend their support in some of the most popular forms. The statue of Sankarshan was discovered in Devanagari, Nawada, Bihar and is made of red sandstone.
