The gracefulness on the face of Lord Krishna is beautifully manifested in this carving. The story of Krishna, and Kaliya the serpent is very well known folklore. Kaliya, a naga (a serpent), was occupying the river Yamuna and its banks. The great snake had poisoned the waters of the Yamuna and also dried the forests nearby by the poison airs breathed by it. Once when the Krishna’s cowherd friends drank water from the river they fell ill. An enraged Krishna jumped into the water to kill the serpent. But the Lord was coiled around by Kaliya, the serpent king and he lay at the bottom of the river. But His divine powers helped Him uncoil himself from the serpent and wanted to kill it. But on pleading from the wives of Kaliya, he left it alone and asked them all to leave the shores of Yamuna forever. So they left and Yamuna and its shored regained their normal form
