The Mathura Collection | March 2025

 

Mathura | Devaki | Birth Mother of Lord Krishna 

Introducing Devaki, a stunning addition to our exclusive collection of sacred art dolls. This breathtaking, handcrafted one-of-a-kind creation beautifully captures the divine essence of Devaki, the royal mother of Lord Krishna and embodiment of maternal sacrifice and divine purpose.

Devaki's story is one of profound sacrifice and spiritual significance. Imprisoned by her brother King Kamsa after a prophecy foretold that her eighth child would end his tyrannical reign, Devaki endured the heartbreak of having her first six children taken from her. When Lord Krishna, her eighth child, was born in the prison cell, divine intervention allowed him to be secretly taken to Gokul where he was raised by Yashoda. Despite the separation, the divine bond between mother and son remained unbroken, representing the ultimate maternal sacrifice for the greater good.

Meticulously designed with devotion and artistic precision, this doll is adorned in a regal ensemble featuring a royal blue choli (blouse) with intricate gold embellishments that extend gracefully along the sleeves. The magnificent red velvet lehenga skirt is the centerpiece of this creation, showcasing elaborate gold zari work in delicate swirling patterns that catch and reflect light with every movement.

A single, extraordinarily elaborate necklace adorns this Devaki figure, showcasing masterful craftsmanship with its intricate layers and pendants. Her ornate gold headdress with precious-stone accents, elegant chandelier earrings, decorative armlets, bangles, and stunning waist ornament featuring sunburst medallion design with blue and red accent stones all enhance her regal appearance befitting the mother of the divine.

The doll's serene expression, defined eyes, and detailed facial features capture Devaki's divine essence. Her long dark hair is styled with traditional ornamentation, reflecting the royal lineage from which she descended. Set against a backdrop of lotus-filled waters and distant mountains reminiscent of Mathura, this doll captures the spiritual ambiance of Krishna's birthplace, where the divine plan to restore dharma began with Devaki's courage and faith.

Each element has been thoughtfully designed to honor Devaki's sacred role as the mother who brought the divine into the world, while showcasing the highest level of artisanal craftsmanship that collectors of Gopi dolls have come to treasure.

This OOAK masterpiece makes a perfect addition to any spiritual collection or as a centerpiece for festival displays celebrating Krishna Janmashtami, honoring the timeless bond between Devaki and her divine son.

Care Instructions

These dolls are Collector's Edition Premium Gopi Dolls made primarily for display purposes for Adult Doll Collectors. With that in mind, their clothing and accessories are removable, including the the veil which has a hair clip inserted that can be easily removed and clipped back on. In this way, the doll can be fashioned with additional beautiful clothing and accessories in the near future.

Dolls, Clothing, and Accessories are not washable as they may become damaged.

Head jewellery (crown, tiara, tikka) are often not removable as desired. The doll’s accessories are not meant to withstand rough play due to their delicate nature, however, they are also quite sturdy and have been secured with professional grade industrial strength glue.

Gopi Dolls will last throughout the years especially if you have taken the care to display them safely out of the dust, weather, and sun using a doll display case.

** PLEASE NOTE**

Sundari Gopi Dolls can be for anyone who likes them. However, I would use caution when giving them to small children because they have lots of small parts and sharp objects that may come off. So if you do purchase one for your little one just please be careful and supervise their play.

Gopi Dolls

Gopi Dolls are brand new or vintage Barbie Dolls, Integrity Toys Dolls, or Disney Princess Dolls, etc. that I have removed from their original packaging, along with their factory clothing, accessories, and factory paint. I have then designed and sewn them very unique, and new, original couture Gopi Skirts and accessories. I’ve also given them new life by elaborately painting their faces and body designs by hand. They are regular dolls that I have beautifully transformed into Gopi Dolls. 

These One-of-a-Kind Dolls take me countless hours, days, weeks, months, and even years to make. After many years of careful research and experimentation, I strive to utilise only the highest quality materials possible. Every single doll is unique and original. Every single collective, luxurious, Gopi Doll is made with the utmost love and care, taking into consideration every single delicious detail, to the best of my ability.

Gopi Dolls are inspired from the Vedic Scriptures of the pastimes of Radha and Krishna and the Gopis. Gopi is a sanksrit term meaning "cowherd girl" from the village of Vrindavan as depicted in the Vedic scriptures of Ancient India. The Gopis are the dearest and most intimate friends and lovers of Lord Krishna, The Surpreme Personality of Godhead. So that is the mood that the Gopi Dolls are based on. They have been a source of constant inspiration throughout my life.  I have infused these art dolls with my love of contemporary art and 3D design and combined with my love for Art from the Ancient Vedic Scriptures of India.
