Krishna Kalingamardana Krishna dancing

---

Krishna Kalingamardana. Krishna dances, his right leg placed on the hoods of the snake Kalinga and his left leg flexed. He holds the snake’s tail in his left hand and a lotus in his right. The expanse of water in which Kalinga lives is rendered as a well, teeming with aquatic life and surrounded by a brick wall. To its left and right, with hands folded in anjali mudra, are Kalinga’s wives, praying for the release of their husband. They are shown as women with snakes’ tails.
