The Divine Counsel

Rendered in a traditional Indian folk art style resembling Pattachitra, this intricate painting is characterized by bold outlines, flat natural colors, and a dense narrative composition. The central focus is the deity Krishna, depicted with blue skin and four arms, acting as the charioteer for the warrior prince Arjuna on a horse-drawn chariot amidst a crowded battlefield. The background is packed with armies and elephants, while various gods and celestial beings observe the epic scene from the clouds above. A complex, ornamental floral border frames the entire mythological illustration, emphasizing its sacred nature.
