Z – Names of Krishna

Note on names that start with Z – the letter “z” is not part of the traditional Sanskrit alphabet. The Sanskrit script (Devanagari) has its own set of sounds and letters, but “z” is not one of them. While some Sanskrit words may be transliterated using “z” in modern languages, it doesn’t appear in the original Sanskrit phonetics. The closest sound is often represented by the letter “ज” (ja), but “z” itself is not used in the Sanskrit alphabet. So if you want a Z name, the closest could be J names, like Jagganath.

So, why are we gathering all these wonderful names of our dear Krishna?

Well, for starters, they can be a great source of inspiration when naming our children or pets. Even reading for pleasure, each name is a window into Krishna’s divine nature, a glimpse into his infinite love, playfulness, and power. And let’s not forget the beautiful names of his eternal consort, Shri Radha. I’m excited to share that list with you soon!

Particularly interesting to me is that when I am working on new deities of Krishna, I love to think about His MOOD and what name best suits the way He is appearing in that form, ready to be worshipped.

Help me learn more about Krishna!

Krishna Deity Look Book – Marble murti

Discover a vibrant collection of Krishna deity forms, exploring diverse styles, looks, moods, and details for inspiration in your spiritual practice.

After years of working on different Krishna forms, so many different looks and moods, it might be nice to have a bit of a retrospective, with different Krishna forms, collected here.

When you are looking for ideas for different details like Krishna deity hands feet paintwork etc, we all need a little inspiration. I hope that you will enjoy the delightful and varied moods of Krishna deities here. (Not an exhaustive list!)

Overall, I tend to try and recreate the look of Krishna as a dark rain cloud, although sometimes His hue is more lit by moonlight, or as lightened by a ray of radiant sunshine.

So much variety of mood and love. One thing for sure is that worshipping a form of Krishna is a wonderful addition to your life and Sadhana Bhakti.

But wait! Explore the glorious forms of Krishna’s look when He’ s in the dark Syamasundar mood! Black and stormy dark, I love it best when His blackish skin looks like a galaxy, with glorious sparkles in the marble comprising the skin.

Different forms in black marble I have made and also black metal include the following forms with most beautiful stylish black complexion on our dear Krishna.

This list definately needs updating, as it does not include so many of the beautiful KRishna deity looks I have created for you!

Given how hard it is to choose a form of the Lord Shri Krishna to worship in deity form, how baffling it is to chose the deity look you want to see, what on earth did I choose when I gave my heart to KRishna deity form for my at home ishtadev?

Gorgeous Shri Vanvihari Deity of Krishna, my personal lord. Dressed in royal blue silk with a peach shawl. Krishnas reflection is showin in a silver mirror from another angle. He wears a peacock feather in his hair and a garland of lotus buds like ginger flowers. He has ropes of pearls with rubies and a silver flute with dangling pearls on silver chains. flowers are clustered on either side of the deity of Krishna.

10 Amazing Flower Garlands You Never Thought of Making

Did you ever think of these flowers for garlands for Krishna?

Whether you are new to making Krishna flower garlands, or a seasoned professional, you may never have considered these flowers!

Agapanthus
Azalea
Blue Ginger
Crepe Myrtle
Geisha Girl
Grevillia
Ginger Flower Buds
Hydrangea
Inoxa
Jacaranda

This list is skewed to Australia, as that’s my mainframe of reference!

Agapanthas

What a rich bluish purple color! Agapanthas have surely waved happily at you from the landscaping of your neighbours!

For a long time it did not occur to me to try garlands with these flowers. As they have no scent, it’s nice to mix the flowers with a scented flower – gardenias make a beautiful addition, and are in bloom at the same season, as are frangipani.

Azaleas – delicate ruffles

Stunning! I was stunned and awed the first time I saw a garland from azaleas. You might have seen them threaded around and around, but have you ever seen a garland of ruffled azaleas threaded straight through the stem? They look like threaded fairy skirts! So adorable. You have to try this at least one time.

I searched and searched, but couldn’t find the one or two photos I have of garlands with azaleas in them! Here’s a photo of my altar instead, with azalea flowers in vases! This was when I first installed my Sri Vanvihari Krishna deity.

Their garlands are made from ground orchids which come in a variety of colors, and also Jasmine

Blue Ginger

These beautiful strongly colored flowery buds are worth seeking out and planting! They seem to thrive on neglect in the ground and are fine in a shaded side alley. The flowers are charming for garlands on small deity forms of Krishna.

You might need to look at the flowers ON the plant to be able to identify them – this seems like the best reference image I could find online:

Learn how to identify and grow this beautiful garland flower here:
https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/blue-ginger/growing-blue-ginger-plants.htm

Crepe Myrtle

Soft and delicate ruffles, these flowers are best to offer to your smaller deities. Mix them with a fragrant flower for delicate scent.

Crepe Myrtle come in shades of peach, pink, red, white and purple. They are small and timeconsumingly fiddly as the flowers are so delicate, but you can see the heavenly effect they create with their cloud like appearance. Perfect for a flower garland for tiny Krishna deities!

Ginger Flowers like Lotus Buds

Ginger flowers come in a variety of different shapes and sizes.

You may have commonly seen these ginger flowers threaded up in both Hawaii and Philippines with their spidery flower petals and the way they are woven is totally amazing – but! There is another type that grows locally and they are so beautiful!

When you thread them up they look very much like lotus buds! Perfect for a smaller or medium sized deity of Krishna.

They contain a lot of water so when you are threading them up it’s nice to leave them for a little before you offer to the Lord… unless it’s a hot day and He would enjoy some refreshingly moist garland offerings!

Geisha Girl – Duranta Repens – Verbena variety

The intoxicating smell of the vanilla fragrance Geisha Girl flower mixed with Krishnas personal fragrance must be a heavenly aroma to make the bumble bees drunk and swooning staggering through the air on drunken paths!

Threaded through the central stamen hole these flowers make a perfect delicate garland for a small deity like this 10inch form of Syama Krishna deity dressed in gorgeous complimentary lavender silks

These tiny little flowers grow prolifically. The garlands would not last all day out of the fridge but to prepare in advance are fine.

Threading through the stem to create a fuller look garland works so nicely for Shri Vanvihari Krishna, my 18inch tall marble deity. His garland is interspersed with Chinese Jasmine.

Grevillia

No, please don’t thread in a whole clonking flower! My artistic friend Nadia recently made garlands for Krishna and included little pieces of their delicate curling stamens! Mind – blown!

Nadia made this gorgeous headlei for Krishna for Janmashtami! See the delicate pieces coming out like little tendrils? Highly recommend

An Australian native flower, but I would expect it would also be grown in other parts of the world – it does well in our hot and dry climate.

Native birds like this lorikeet love the Grevillia, and the flowers come in various colors

Hydreangeas – flower clusters

How exquisite the colors of the hydrangea! These pretty flowers can be interspersed with others for fragrance and bring their delicate allure to Krishna’s flower garlands.

Ixora

This flower comes in some beautiful and vibrant colors, from coral, yellow, orange, red and even pink.

The little flowers make perfect garlands for smaller deities too. You can readily pick the flower heads which grow in clusters locally and are often used as bush landscaping where I live.

Jacaranda flowers

These beautiful blooms have such a nice fragrance! It’s difficult to describe, but maybe musk comes close. When they are massed you can smell the perfume more strongly.

When I was blessed to harvest some last year I did a little tutorial of using them for garland making, and also offered my dear sweet Vanvihari Krishna a shringar that complimented them!

It can be hard to find a tree that is low growing enough to harvest their flowers, but it is utterly worth seeking them out, should you find some! Look for trees that are growing on a slope, or leverage your car and stretch!

Cut and offered in flower vases they will last up to 2 days.

Always Remember Krishna & Never Forget Krishna

Making clothes for Dressed Krishna deity

Krishna deity dressed form of lord wearing a crown shawl and peacock feather

Different forms of Krishna you can dress.

Have you found that you want to dress and decorate Krishna? Maybe you want to but you have an already dressed deity of Krishna! Don’t dispair tho – much can be offered to ornament the lord, from clothes to jewels!

Seems like many devotees have different forms of Krishna that they want to adorn!

Krishna deity with carved clothes wearing flower crowns and garlands with fresh peacock feathers and a nice shawl beautifully styled — This sweet Krishna – served by Vrindavan Vasi dasi, my mom, gets flower garlands, flower crowns, turbans, shawls and jewels

Krishna deities can have carved clothing, or be in the form of a Saligram Sila, or all sorts of other forms! And there’s almost always a way in which we can offer some worship or decorations.

You can offer little turbans, earrings, flutes, necklaces, eyes, thrones… look at the ornamental silver tilak, smiling lips and utterly charming eyes! wowsers the bliss of serving! – Side note! It is not recommended that we bring Shila out of India… International devotees I do not recommend – approach with caution!

Fun ways to decorate Dressed Deities of Krishna

Back to my main points – I’ve had a few fun challenges recently with making outfits for dressed deities, and I want to discuss ways we can dress them!

Even a dear devotee with a disability affecting mobility has been able to have a pattern style that is easy enough to put on the deity form! (Sometimes devotees have athritis as well which can make fiddly fixing very difficult… but we have solutions for that!)

This week I sent off a custom set of gorgeous clothes to Canada for an exquisite form of Krishna who has carved clothes – but I made some for His devotee to offer and wear over the carved garments!

Then there is the child sized Shri Krishna form living with my mum – He’s the size of a small child! Well she dresses Him in a turban and shawls (as well as garlands and jewellery she attaches using -gasp- bluetack – please don’t do that!* Please use beeswax!)

Beeswax in cute little cakes with a pretty bee mold. Beeswax is perfect for deity shringar. Illustrating how to use beeswax for Krishna shringar — beeswax cakes are soft and fragrant. Try searching for them online – These are from an Australian Honey farm, I ordered on Etsy.

The first thing that you can easily attempt for a dressed Krishna is layering a shawl on! So easy!

Depending on how the form of the Lord is carved, you can attempt various stylings to get the shawl most gorgeously draped. To show you, I’ve added a shawl to this beautiful deity of Krishna who is carved with clothes crown, turban and peacock! (Yes He is still available – order here!)

Even if the lord has a carved crown or headwear, you can layer on a crown or hand wrap a turban.

Sometimes you can attach jewellery over the top of existing jewellery. Using a simple pair of cutter pliers, you can remove the back of a stud earring, and then use BEESWAX to attach.

Offer Him rings! Earrings can have the back clipped off, or a hook removed, and be attached at His fingers and toes, using BEESWAX.

I made a post a few years ago about quick ways to get Jewellery for Krishna – read it here.

Can He wear a necklace? Sometimes you can get adjustable necklaces, or you can remove the extended chain length to offer a necklace. Again – attach with BEESWAX. Sorry – I’ll stop repeating that now!

adjustable necklace, bracelets, armlets, anklets on wire and belt for dressed deity of krishna

Does He have a carved peacock feather?

That’s ok, add more! Fresh peacock feathers are so charming. You can get them in various sizes. I have ordered very small peacock feathers from Ebay seller – Just try doing a search. You can also find white peacock feathers from albino peacocks – although sometimes they have been bleached white and get a bit ratty.

peacock feathers offered to Krishna deity can be fresh and can also be white

Every now and then you need to refresh Krishna’s peacock feather – they can look quite ratty after awhile, and PLEASE don’t wet them. I’ve ruined a few like that and I don’t understand why it trashes them but it does.

If you want to wrap a dhoti on Krishna you can do that too. Krishna with a precarved dhoti can wear it lungi or sarong style. Depending on His size you may wish to cut the fabrics.

When I stitch garments for deity clothes orders I aim to make them as easy to put on as possible, so I create a fake pleated front facade. I have even been making long side pleats to tumble down attractively.

These outfits were made for a deity who has a precarved dhoti (although no carved shawl).

deity clothes for a dressed deity of Krishna with special pleating dhoti

I made a turban which is basically almost a crown and attaches with adjustable velcro at the back. It’s a facade that goes over the carved turban flat so the effect is not too over the top.

The shawls drape easily over His arms and I recently made anklets on wire to form and attach around the ankles.

A cloak is an excellent option to offer a dressed deity of Krishna! I haven’t kept examples to show you on that one form I have, but they would be so sweet!

It has been a delight to work on deity garment orders for your deities – thanks for entrusting me with such a precious task!

*bluetack can remove varnish and paint over time. If you have ever pulled down posters off a wall you’ll know how noxious it is! Never use bluetack please! Beeswax is a wonderful substitute (it’s actually the OG) and it has a pleasant aroma.. And doesn’t affect the finish as badly. Unlike bluetack which becomes all melty and gooey, beeswax hardens when it’s applied and pops off super easily. If you try and remove it soon after using it can still be soft and then you need to scrape off. So wait until it’s hardened before removing.

Also – if you have a black deity of Krishna you can color your beeswax with a little charcoal to make a black finish and then you won’t see it against his skin either! Bonus!
