Cremation of the demon Putana, from a Krishna-Lila

In the foreground, men of Vraj, the cowherd village where the Hindu god Krishna lived as a child, cut up the oversized corpse of the demon Putana. Already, they carry her forearms and hands to the burning pyre at the upper left. Putana arrived in the form of a wet nurse with secretly poisoned breasts. When she began to feed Krishna, he sucked the life out of her, at which point she resumed her true form. At the right, shocked cowherd women bathe baby Krishna.
