Putna Vadh, Vishwamitra ka Tila (Pehowa)

Department of Archaeology and Museums, Haryana

A dramatic tableau unfolds in stone. The monstrous Putana, a demoness with outstretched arms, embodies pure evil. Yet, in stark contrast, the divine infant Krishna, with an almost serene countenance, defies mortal expectations. His tiny form, latched onto Putana's poisoned breast, is a potent symbol of the cosmic battle between good and evil. The sculptor masterfully captures the raw power of this mythic encounter, the delicate innocence of the divine child juxtaposed against the demonic fury of his adversary. Every detail, from the intricate folds of Putana's garments to the serene expression on Krishna's face, is a testament to the artist's skill in transforming a divine legend into a tangible work of art.
