# Handcrafted Vietnam White Marble Radha Krishna with Cow (Venugopal Jodi), 3ft > Sculptor-carved Vietnam white marble Radha Krishna jodi with a calf at Krishna's feet, a 36-inch Venugopal grouping on one shared lotus base. **Source:** https://www.tilakmandirwala.com/products/vietnam-white-marble-radha-krishna-with-cow-venugopal-jodi-3ft **Business:** Tilak Mandirwala — made-to-order marble temples (mandirs), statues and decorative handicrafts. Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Founded 2006. **How it works:** Each piece is carved to order by the independent master sculptors TMW works with in Jaipur's Khajane Walon Ka Rasta sculptors' market. TMW designs the piece with the customer, briefs the sculptor, and follows it through to delivery and installation. **Pricing:** request-for-quote — pieces are custom, so the site carries no list prices. **Ships:** across India; export enquiries welcome. **About the image:** a design visualisation, not a photograph of stock on hand. The piece is carved to order after the design is agreed. **Availability:** made to order. ## The Vietnam white marble, and how it is worked Vietnam white marble comes out of the Thanh Hoa quarries in northern Vietnam, and it reads noticeably cooler and whiter than Rajasthani Makrana: a clean, near-neutral white with a fine, tight crystalline grain and very little of the grey veining that runs through most Indian marble. On a multi-figure grouping that difference earns its keep: a flat, quiet white surface lets the carved drapery, the garland beads and the calf's small features read purely as shadow, instead of competing with a busy stone pattern. The block for this piece is selected so that Radha, Krishna and the calf all come out of one continuous stone and share a single carved base. Every stage after the block arrives is hand work. The master sculptors we work with rough the mass out first, then bring up the primary silhouette (Krishna's tribhanga curve, the fall of Radha's sari, the calf folded down at the base) before a single detail is touched. Faces, hands, the flute, the crown feathers and the drapery edges are finished entirely by hand with chisel and riffler; no machine finishing goes anywhere near them. Polishing then runs through progressive grits to a soft satin, which holds light without turning the white glassy. ## The Venugopal form and the calf at his feet Venugopal is Krishna as the cowherd flautist of Vrindavan, with the flute at his lips, his weight shifted into the three-bend tribhanga stance, and a peacock feather set into the crown. The calf at his feet is the attribute that names the form: Gopal means protector of cows, and in the Bhagavata telling the herd gathering to the sound of the flute is the whole point of the image. Radha stands at his left with a garland in her hands, which is how the jugal jodi, the divine pair, has been arranged in Braj-region murti carving for generations. ## Sizing and lighting the 3ft grouping At 36 inches on its shared base, the grouping is scaled for a home mandir with a dedicated platform, or for a temple installation seen from eight to ten feet away. Allow roughly 25 inches of clear width, and a plinth that brings the faces close to eye level. The tribhanga curve and the calf's upward gaze both read best when you are looking straight across at them rather than down. A garden-facing veranda or a naturally lit alcove suits the cool white; strong warm downlights will push the stone yellow. ## Commissioning it in another size or stone Sizes from 18 inches up to five feet work in this form, in Makrana white marble or black stone as well as Vietnam white. We design the piece with you (base profile, garland detail, whether the calf sits or stands), brief the sculptor, and follow it through to delivery at your door. Send us your platform dimensions on WhatsApp and we will work back from there. ## Specifications - **Material:** Vietnam White Marble - **Finish:** Soft polish (satin) - **Colour:** Natural White - **Height:** 36 inches - **Width:** 25 inches - **Depth:** 14 inches - **Weight:** 43 kg - **Ideal for:** home mandir, temple installation Stone, size and finish are all changeable — these are the specifications of the piece as shown. ## Media ### Images (1) - https://vptrobfqdvauunfvodxw.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/tmw-media-assets/Statue%20product%20images/vietnam-white-marble-radha-krishna-with-cow-venugopal-jodi-3ft.webp (primary, concept render) All media is public and CORS-open — fetch directly, no signing or proxy needed. ## Part of - [Statues](https://www.tilakmandirwala.com/collections/custom-marble-statues) ## Related pieces - [Handcrafted Vietnam White Marble ISKCON-Style Radha Krishna Temple Deity Pair, 3.5ft](https://www.tilakmandirwala.com/products/vietnam-white-marble-iskcon-radha-krishna-temple-deity-pair-3-5ft) - [Handcrafted Vietnam White Marble Contemporary Radha Krishna Jugal Jodi, 30-inch](https://www.tilakmandirwala.com/products/vietnam-white-marble-contemporary-radha-krishna-jugal-jodi-30in) - [Handcrafted Vietnam White Marble Radha-Krishna Standing Pair, 30-inch](https://www.tilakmandirwala.com/products/vietnam-white-marble-radha-krishna-standing-pair-30in) ## Enquire about this piece - WhatsApp, message pre-written: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=919766532408&text=Hi!%20I'd%20like%20a%20quote%20to%20have%20this%20design%20made%3A%20Handcrafted%20Vietnam%20White%20Marble%20Radha%20Krishna%20with%20Cow%20(Venugopal%20Jodi)%2C%203ft.%20Product%20link%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tilakmandirwala.com%2Fproducts%2Fvietnam-white-marble-radha-krishna-with-cow-venugopal-jodi-3ft - Tell us the size, the stone and where it is going.
