Krishna appears here with his consort, Rukmini. Krishna in his various forms was a favourite topic for the Tanjore painters. The painting showcases all the elements of a Tanjore glass painting from this era – the boundary of the picture done by pillars and drapes, the slightly rounded figures, ostentatious clothing and jewellery, and a simple aesthetic.
