The charming Yashodanandana (son of Yashoda), Sri Krishna in his Baalya-swaroopa (childhood form) is an eternal source of sweetness and bliss for the hearts of his devotees, nourishing them with his innocent yet divine Lilas. His ambrosial affection for all life forms has been often narrated in the Puranas, which describe animals, humans, birds, and the entire nature, mesmerized by the beauty and aura of Kanha.
In this watercolor painting, a heart-warming imagery of Krishna’s love for the residents of earth has been presented, with the presence of a butterfly that gently perches on the fingers of a baby Krishna.
The blue-skinned Lord is beautifully adorned, in a Pitambara (yellow garment), pearl ornaments, and a lovely Moramukuta or peacock crown that secures his charming curls. With a benevolent smile on his face, Krishna gazes at the butterfly sweetly, who seems to have found the world’s pleasures in the company of Krishna.
Scriptures and devotional traditions compare Krishna’s form often to the softness of a newly bloomed flower, full of allure and divine nectar. Is it so that the butterfly has confused Krishna with a blossom, and sits on his fingers to relish in his company's Rasa (nectar)?
