Krishna showed his Vishvarupa to Arjuna in the battle field of the Mahabharata when the latter had refused to fight with his fellows. Krishna took the form of Vishvarupa by opening his mouth and showed the entire Brahmanda to Arjuna. The colours are typical of the Kashmiri palette with orange, green, yellow and mauve.
