I have noticed that some temples keep Krishna's flute so that it's only in his right hand so its on a slant like the pic i posted of the ISKCON Vrindavan utsav deities, in all the pics of them i have seen it placed like this, is there any significance for this placement? Here's a pic from a devotee's blog with the same placement bp0.blogger.com/_aqoLKZ7lu...SCF1014.JPG
Also Radha Raman and Bankie Bihari don't have thier flutes in thier hands , instead it is leaned next to him is there a reason for this or is it because these deities don't have openings in thier hands for the flutes.

Re: Flute Palcement
Fri, August 10, 2007 - 3:46 PMI always put it down to how the devotee wanted the Krsna to look, ie flute slanted in Tribhanga Lalita, but maybe there's something more. With Radha Ramana, and Banke Bihari, judging from pics I'm pretty sure there's no opening, so the flute goes into the dress or onto the side...correct me if I'm wrong :o) -

Sun, July 13, 2008 - 4:30 AMActually Radha Ramana has an opening for the flute (I have pics of Him where He is holding the flute "normally.") I think the pujaris may simply enjoy dressing Him with the flute in the bend of His left hand...which looks very dashing indeed...
