This lithograph, titled "Nandbaba", published by Hemchander Bhargava, Delhi, beautifully captures the tender moment of infant Krishna in the loving embrace of his foster father, Nanda Baba (Nandray), while his mother, Yashoda, stands beside them, Nanda Baba holds Krishna protectively, symbolizing his deep love and devotion.
In the background, Lord Shiva is depicted holding a flag inscribed in Hindi with "नंद के आनंद भय्यो, जय कन्हैया लाल की!"—a joyous chant celebrating Krishna’s divine presence. This signifies Shiva’s blessings and acknowledges Krishna’s destined greatness. The composition highlights the warmth of parental love and devotion, portraying Krishna’s early years with his foster family.
