Sourced Overview Evidence

The painting shows Krishna being worshipped under a pipal tree by a group of Shaivite devotees, recognized by the horizontal marks on their foreheads. Krishna is clad in a yellow Mughal <em>jama</em>, or belted Central Asian tunic, instead of the wrapped Indian lower garment (<em>dhoti</em>) traditionally associated with Krishna. The tree has been decorated with garlands and scarves to attract auspicious and divine benevolence.
