Krishna subduing Kaliya

The painting Krishna Subduing Kaliya vividly captures the divine moment when Lord Krishna tames the venomous serpent Kaliya in the Yamuna River. In the scene, young Krishna stands fearlessly atop the serpent’s many hoods, his body glowing with divine radiance. Kaliya writhes beneath him, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. The water churns around them as celestial beings and cowherd boys watch in awe. Krishna’s calm expression contrasts with the chaos, showing his supreme power and compassion as he ultimately spares Kaliya’s life. The painting beautifully conveys courage, divinity, and the victory of righteousness through grace and wisdom.
