Miniature Kamadhenu
Miniature style painting of Krishna’s divine cow feeding her young
The mythical cow Kamadhenu is considered the divine cow that grants all desires. This particular imagery of the cow feeding her young evokes the blessings of abundance, fulfilment, and divine grace. Kamadhenu’s eyes are large, expressive and filled with a gentle maternal warmth as she bends lovingly towards her suckling calf. Krishna’s divine cows are always portrayed to be white symbolising purity and gentleness. The cow in Hindu mythology is representative of the Earth. This image is also symbolic of all living things dependant on Mother Earth for sustenance. Set against a stylised background of lush green hills and a lotus pond this painting evokes a sense of calm and serene tranquility.
