Krishna’s childhood pranks

There are two scenes depicted in one painting – one happening inside a pavilion and the other in the open ground. Baby Krishna painted blue is standing on the high pedestal trying to reach the butter pot his mother had hung high beyond his reach. Yashodha is seated looking amused at the act of his son. The other scene in the open is a 'lila' of Krishna when he was punished by his mother and tied around the ukhal between the two trees. Krishna uprooted the trees and released the two brothers Nala and Kubera who were under a curse. Yashodha is holding the baby Krishna and in the foreground Krishna is standing blessing. Nala and Kubera after their release.
