The brief was the great shelter: when Indra sent a week of punishing rain, the boy Krishna lifted Govardhan hill on a fingertip and held it over Braj until the storm gave up, and the picture has to carry both the miracle and the calm under it. Mewar was the right school because the Udaipur and Nathdwara ateliers painted Krishna-lila with a bold frontal directness and a flat ivory-and-red palette that makes the hero unmistakable. So Krishna stands dead centre, frontal, arm raised with the green hill aloft, the storm clouds and rain pressed into the top while the villagers and cows shelter calmly below with hands joined. The blue figure against the green hill is the whole composition; everything else gathers around him in flat symbolic rows. We kept the crowd readable and separated, not a packed huddle, so the sheltering reads as order, not panic.
