KRISHNA SUBDUES KALIYA NAGA

A TRADITIONAL INDIAN PAINTING DEPICTING LORD KRISHNA SUBDUING THE SERPENT DEMON KALIYA IN THE YAMUNA RIVER. THE TOP HALF SHOWS KRISHNA CASTING OUT KALIYA'S POISONED FOLLOWERS—HUMANS AND CATTLE—WHO ONCE SUFFERED FROM THE TOXIC WATERS. IN THE LOWER SECTION, KRISHNA IS SEEN STANDING MAJESTICALLY ON THE WATER, SURROUNDED BY NAGA MAIDENS (FEMALE SERPENTS) WHO PRAISE AND WORSHIP HIM. KALIYA, NOW DEFEATED, LIES IN A PALATIAL UNDERWATER CHAMBER, GUARDED AND ATTENDED BY HIS CONSORTS. THE LOTUS-FILLED WATERS SYMBOLIZE PURITY RETURNING TO THE RIVER. A STRIKING MYTHOLOGICAL SCENE RICH IN SYMBOLISM AND DEVOTIONAL ARTISTRY
