This large and vivid Indian Pahari school painting depicts the iconic scene of Krishna lifting Mount Govardhan to shelter the villagers of Vrindavan from Indra’s wrathful storm. The composition features Krishna in the centre, with his upraised arm holding the mountain, which is portrayed as a massive green canopy populated with animals. He is surrounded by gopis, villagers, and sacred cows rendered in fine detail and radiant attire.

Provenance: Private collection from a distinguished W London lady.
