More Info

This lithograph, titled "Kaliya Daman," depicts Lord Krishna standing on the multi-hooded serpent, Kaliya Naag, in the Yamuna River. He is adorned with a garland, holding a flute, and radiating divine grace. Around him, female serpents (Nāginis) stand with folded hands, pleading for mercy. In the background, villagers and cowherds watch from the riverbank, witnessing Krishna’s victory over Kaliya. This moment signifies Krishna purifying the Yamuna and restoring balance.

The artwork beautifully captures Krishna’s power, compassion, and divine protection.
