Krishna under the Mountain, 1690 by Ustad Sahibdin. Krishna is a beloved Indian deity and is often depicted in Indian art and literature. This painting shows Krishna, the cowherd god, lifting up Mount Govardhan to shelter his followers and animals from the storm of the Indira. Indira was the vengeful god of rain and lighting, seen on his elephant in the upper right corner of the painting. Indira was a feared god because if he was not satisfied by the people's worship and sacrifice, he would either give them flood or drough. According to stories, Indira got very angry with Krishna's opposition that he warned to bring strong rains and flood to the region for seven days and nights. In response, Krishna lifted Govardhan so that people and animals in the region could take shelter. This led to the defeat and surrender of Indira and made Krishna a beloved and the most worshipped Hindu deity.
