Krishna on the snake Kaliya
Legend from the life of the god Krishna. He dances on the head of the snake demon Kaliya, who has poisoned the waters of the Yamuna. Kaliya's wives beg for mercy so that Krishna does not kill him. The horizontally stepped composition, the large yellow background, the red border with the fine golden stripe and the style of the trees are typical of miniatures from the Punjab and parts of Rajasthan. The painting was purchased in Ramgarh near Churn in the Shekhavati region.
