Krishna and Trivakra

Did you know the story of Krishna and Trivakra? The beautiful tale of devotion, love and grace is one of many miracles performed by Krishna for his devotees.

Illustration: Ritoparna Hazra
Trivakra was a hunchback whose work was to take sweet-smelling ointments (angaraga) for Kamsa to smear on his body. Once, as she was going to the palace, she met Krishna and Balarama. Krishna’s presence filled her with love and she offered the angaraga to him. Krishna anointed himself and then holding her by the chin, stepped on her feet and straightened her back. Trivakra was cured of her hunch.
