Tula Bharam

Product details

This popular scene from Krishna leela illustrates the Tulabharam scene.

Sage Narada met Satyabhama and said that though she is beautiful and charming, Sri Krishna loves Rukmini more. Hurt by this, she asked his advice on what she could do to get the Lord’s undivided attention. This is the scene unfolding from that. Narada, with his way with words, tricks her into accepting a Vrata (ritual) where she gives Krishna away in charity to Narada. She tries to win him back by weighing him against her entire wealth (gold & jewelry). Rukmini wins the lord by outweighing him with a simple Tulsi leaf.
