Did You Know?

Krishna is wearing paduka sandals, which have a post and a stub to provide grip between the big and second toes.
A vertically oriented gum tempera and ink painting depicts Krishna, a blue-skinned man playing a flute, followed by four women with light skin tones. Three women balance stacked gold pots on their heads. In the foreground, white cows rest on green grass. The figures stand before a white building under a gray sky with white birds. A thick red border with gold floral patterns frames the scene, highlighting the vibrant patterns on their attire.
