In this legendary tale from Indian mythology, the Yamuna River in Vrindavan is poisoned by the fearsome serpent Kaliya, threatening the lives of the villagers and animals. To save the river and restore balance, the young Krishna leaps into the waters, confronting the serpent in a fierce battle. Displaying his divine strength, Krishna subdues Kaliya with a mesmerizing dance atop its many hoods. Moved by the pleas of Kaliya’s wives, Krishna spares the serpent's life, commanding it to leave the river forever. This story exemplifies Krishna's role as a protector and the triumph of good over evil, set against a backdrop of courage, compassion, and divine grace.
