A horizontally oriented painting depicts a green field beneath a yellow band. At left, blue-skinned Krishna and light-skinned Balarama lead a herd of cows, herders, and a yellow dog. At right, four men with medium skin tones sit under a crimson red tent within a walled compound. One man in green robes gestures toward the others. The stylized figures are rendered in flat, vibrant colors against white and grey masonry.
