Krishna
Worship of the deity Krishna, either in
the form of Vasudeva, Bala Krishna or
Gopala, can be traced to as early as
4th century BC.[13][14] Worship of
Krishna as svayam bhagavan, or the
supreme being, known as Krishnaism,
arose in the Middle Ages in the
context of the bhakti movement.
From the 10th century AD, Krishna
became a favourite subject in
performing arts and regional
traditions of devotion developed for
forms of Krishna such as Jagannatha
in Odisha, Vithoba in Maharashtra
and Shrinathji in Rajasthan. Since the
1960s the worship of Krishna has also
spread in the West, largely due to the
International Society for Krishna

normal for kings to have
more than one wife, Rama
gave ideal of having a single
wife. After Sita was
banished, he was doing
penance with a gold statue
of Sita. In Balakanda of
Valmiki Ramayana it is
written that Rama and Sita
resided in each other's
heart.
