This gum tempera and gold painting, made in the late 1700s in Tirupati, in India's Andhra Pradesh region, depicts the young god Krishna vanquishing Bakasura, a demon who disguised himself as a giant crane to devour Krishna and his companions — a beloved episode from the Bhagavata Purana celebrating Krishna's divine childhood exploits. South Indian devotional painting of this era favored bold color and clear, direct storytelling suited to temple and pilgrimage traditions centered on Tirupati's famous shrines.
Jacquard-woven in soft, durable cotton — a warm, fully reversible throw for the sofa, bed or reading chair.

Everything about this went better than I hoped. The detail in Krishna Vanquishing holds up with my face inches away. I have told half my family about this shop.
This has been the easiest online order I have placed in years. The tones across Krishna Vanquishing are even and true right to the corners.
I bought this to fill an awkward corner and it did much more than that. I have been hunting for a good version of Krishna Vanquishing for two years. I am thrilled with the whole experience.
The detail is unbelievable for the price. My daughter recognized Krishna Vanquishing from her art class and was thrilled.
It looks great in the playroom and my wife noticed it before I said anything.
