It was prophesized that Kamsa, Krishna's maternal uncle, would be killed by him. He tried all ways to kill baby Krishna but failed every time. After consulting with his demonic ministers, Kamsa instructed a witch named Putana, who knew the black art of killing small children by ghastly sinful methods. Dressed as a beautiful woman, she entered Gokula, saw the baby lying and picked him up. Putana had smeared a very powerful poison on her breasts. She put the baby on her lap and suckled him. Krishna, who was the supreme personality of Godhead, sucked the milk and well as life out of her.
This image in strict tribal idiom, shows Putana as an aging woman with Krishna sucking her breasts. Krishna is depicted as a youth with a crown and flute in hand and not as a baby. For the simple craftsperson, it does not matter how close to reality is the depiction; it is the portrayal that matters. It is a lucid pictoral depiction of Krishna's childhood.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?
Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.
Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.
In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.
Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
