The Hindu god Krishna, known for his mischievous charm and irresistible allure, is seen being carried by a group of Gopis, or cowherd girls.

As they carry him on their shoulders, their faces radiate pure joy and adoration. The intricate details in this black-and-white illustration bring to life the mythical world of ancient India. The majestic elephant standing nearby adds an element of grandeur to the scene, symbolizing power and wisdom.
