This continuous narrative illustrates Krishna"s battle with the naga Kaliya, whose fiery poison was causing the Yamuna River to boil. At the lower left, Krishna swims playfully ahead of the writhing and envious Kaliya. At the right, it is possible to make out the climatic moment when Krishna, adored by the female cowherds (gopis) on the shore, defeats Kalia by dancing on his multiple heads.
