Indra had been enraged when Krishna persuaded his community to redirect their annual offerings away from the deity and toward the mountain itself. The storm was his response. The lifting of the mountain was Krishna's answer — effortless, complete, and humiliating to the god who had sent the rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene is drawn from the Bhagavata Purana and comes from a rare illustrated Persian translation of that text — an object that speaks to the cross-cultural exchange of the Mughal period, when Sanskrit devotional texts were translated, studied, and painted for courtly audiences across faiths and languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting is from the Deccan region of southern India, and carries the visual hallmarks of that tradition: a vertical composition, elaborate registers, and a palette that combines Mughal clarity with Deccani intensity. Below the four-armed Krishna, Indra kneels in complete surrender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisclaimer: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe frames shown are for display purposes only and are \u003cstrong\u003enot included\u003c\/strong\u003e with the artwork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs these are made-to-order designer pieces, expect minor \u003cstrong\u003ecolour variations\u003c\/strong\u003e from the displayed artwork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Brahm","offers":[{"title":"21 x 27 in","offer_id":45151598968855,"sku":null,"price":78.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 x 32 in","offer_id":45151599001623,"sku":null,"price":101.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"29 x 37 in","offer_id":45151599034391,"sku":null,"price":132.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/7711\/9511\/files\/ump_6784ca1c-3c09-4a6a-b240-9d8e9229daa9.jpg?v=1779232605","url":"https:\/\/www.brahmcollection.com\/products\/krishna-lifting-mount-govardhan-canvas-cloth-print-c-1700","provider":"Brahm Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
