520 |a As one of the most popular deities in contemporary Hindu worship, representations of Krishna are ubiquitous throughout South Asia. However, characterizations of Krishna also commonly appear in popular media, including television shows, movies, and comic books. But the division between traditional religious representations of Krishna and his more modern media images is not as stark as it might first appear. Using an analysis of linguistic frameworks in popular dramatic stage performances centred on the re-enactment of Krishna stories, this article demonstrates the continuum of religious practice that links the actor playing Krishna with ritual practices that presume the manifestation of the deity himself. In this way, the lines between tradition and modernity become blurred as particular methods of entertainment become themselves a vehicle for the realization of the divine.
