Summary[edit]

Description
English: A painting by Mola Ram, illustrating the familiar episode of Krishna lifting Govardhana mountain to protect people and animals from torrential rain. Paraphrasing description from [1]: "In centre, Krishna holds the Mountain Govardhana with the little finger of his right hand. His left hand rests on the head of a frightened cowherd boy. Nanda, Krishna's foster-father, to the right, is dressed like a Mughal Courtier in Peshwaj and turban; his beard is also like that of Mughal aristocrats. Balarama, tall and fair, stands next to Krishna. There are four frightened cows and a calf. The two peacocks on the mountain represent the avian world. The legend as given in the Bhagavata Purana tells of Krishna the Savior who protected the cowherds and the people of the country around Mathura from the fury of Indra, the god of rain, by lifting the mountain Govardhana above their heads as an umbrella. Indra was angry because Krishna had persuaded the cowherds to abandon the worship of Indra. Krishna says: 'We are dwellers of the woods and it is mountains and forests that nourish us. He who nourishes us, His worship alone is proper'."
