An awe-inspring visual version of the Krishna-Lila of Kaliya-Mardan (vanquishing the serpent Kaliya), this sculpture blends the heritage of bronze with the creativity of the artist.

In a dynamic pose similar to Nataraja’s Thalai Keel Tandava in which Shiva jumps with both legs in the air, Krishna bends his body defying gravity, in a powerful and graceful pose.

His face expresses a tranquil contrast with the drama of the dance.

Numerous serpents wrap around the body of Kaliya Naga, creating a mythical composite snake, with the head of Kaliya with five hoods turned towards Krishna, his hands joined in a pleading manner.

Presenting a familiar theme of Hindu culture in a rare, personal style of the artist, decorated with a beautiful patina, this bronze composition is a fete of artistic skills that needs center stage in any space.
