The lightning, the dark clouds and the rain are set against a very dark background. The central figure is the young Krishna holding the Mountain Govardhan on the little finger of his right hand. His left hand is resting on the head of a frightened cowherd boy. Nand, Krishna’s foster- father, to the right, is dressed like a Mughal Courtier in Peshwaj and turban; his beard is also in like of Mughal aristocrats. Balaram, tall and fair, is standing in front of Krishna. There are four frightens cows and a calf. The two peacocks on the mountain represent the avian world.

The legend of Govardhan Darshan as given in the Bhagavata Purana tells us about Krishna the Savior who protected the cowherds and the people of the country round about Mathura
Against the fury of Indra, the god of rain, by lifting the mountain Govardhan above their heads as an umbrella. Indra was angry because Krishna had persuaded the cowherds to abandon the worship of Indra Krishna says: “We are dwellers of wood and it is mountains and forests that nourish us. He who nourishes, His worship alone is proper.
