Krishna kills Shishupala

Gouache painting on paper from an album of eighty-two paintings of Hindu deities. Kṛṣṇa, shown as a portly young man, sits on a carpet. He offers a banana to a seated crowned figure whose head is propelled into the air by the violence of the chakra (discus). The moustachioed king points his index finger at Kṛṣṇa.

Killing of King Shishupala, narrated in the Sabha parvan of the Mahabharata.
