Depiction of the battle of Kurukshetra in the Kalamkari painting is amazing as the figures of the Lord Krishna and his friend Arjuna plus the horses are given a refine treatment in the Kalamkari painting. The four horses are painted white, green, yellow and gray, respectively. Lord Krishna is painted indigo. When Arjuna refused to fight against his kith and kins in the battle of Kurukshetra, Lord Krishna showed him his real image as the ruler of the Universe and explained to Arjuna that we have to do our own duty (Karma). The effects are destined to happen. His sermons are compiled in the form of the Great Geeta. Lord Krishna explained Arjuna how He takes birth as different incarnations at different points of time to safeguard his disciples from the impending danger of the destruction of dharma. Kalamkari is an art that involves weaving and hand block printing apart from painting. The figures with rounded shapes and border designs are typical of kalamkari.

Description
Govardhan hill is located near Vrindavan and is considered sacred the Hindus. According to Vaishnava legend the Vedic demi-god, Indra was losing his hold over the human beings, and became jealous of the boy Krishna (an incarnation of the Supreme God according to the Bhagavata Purana. Indra thus invoked many clouds to appear in the sky and schemed to flood the region with rains lasting for seven days and seven nights. Krishna in reply then lifted Govardhan hill, under which all the animals and people of the region took shelter, safe from the rains of Indra's fury. Ultimately, Indra accepted defeat, and after praying to Krishna, left for his heavenly abode, the Svarga.

The beautiful figure depicts Lord Krishna dancing over the heads of the serpents as the wives of the serpents plead for mercy. The story of Krishna, and Kaliya the serpent is very popular. Kaliya, a Naga (serpent), was occupying the river Yamuna and its banks. The giant snake had poisoned the waters of the Yamuna and also dried the nearby forests by the poison airs breathed by it. One day, when the Krishna’s cowherd friends drank water from the river they fell ill. Showing His prowess, Krishna jumped into the water to kill Kaliya. Krisha, however, was coiled around by Kaliya and he lay at the bottom of the river. But His divine powers helped Krishan uncoil himself from the serpent and wanted to kill it. But following imploration from the wives of Kaliya, Lord Krishan, the Master of the Universe showed mercy on the serpent king. He pardoned on one condition. The Kaliya along with his family had to leave the river forever. A vanquished Kaliya immediately consented. So they left and Yamuna and its shored regained their normal form. This feat is termed as Kaliya-Daman.

Description
The Pata painting depicts Lord Krishna overpowering the Kaliya, the serpent. There was a great lake near the river Yamuna. Here resided the black and venomous serpent Kaliya. Due to his poisonous vapors, the surrounding area was so contaminated that no living being would dare venture near the place. One day Krishnas fellow cowherds went near the lake and after drinking water fell sick.
Krishna after learning this said: I shall vanquish this king of serpents and release the inhabitants of the country from their continual dread.
Following a fierce battle, Krishna overpowered the serpents and following the prayers by the wives of the Kaliya, he pardoned Kaliya on the condition that Kaliya would leave the place forever.
The manner in which Krishna subdues Kaliya has a fascinating quality about it. The dance to victory, the effortless rhythm of the Almighty's pace of creation and destruction, the ease, the grace, the sheer play in the manifestations of the Lord's will, to which wind and water provide enchanted accompaniment, are beautifully brought out in the narrative. Indeed, this is the first inkling in textual material of Krishna as natwar (the dancer).

The beautiful Kalamkari painting depicts Lord Krishna showing Arjuna his virat form (omnipresent) at the battlefield of Kurukshetra. In the Bhagavad Gita, part of the epic Mahabharata, there is a discourse between Arjuna and Krishna, where Arjuna asks the Lord for a vision of his true form. Krishna shows this vision, which is both glorious and terrifying. Arjuna sees the entire universe inside Lord Krishna. This great form of Krishna is called virat-rupa (omnipresent or vast form). Ten different incarnations of the Lord are depicted here with a great aesthetic sense and beauty. The Lord is seen with manifestation of His many-headed body and that is a paradigm of omnipotence, omnipresence.
