Catalogue Note
Dana Lila depicts Krishna tipping curd from a pot carried by a gopi as she and her companions take their produce to market. The scene takes place against a verdant background of plantains and mango trees with celestials in their aerial chariots above. Below peacocks gather alongside the Jumna Ghat. The top and sides show scenes of Sri Vitthalnath-ji and the twenty-four festivals in sequence. For a comparable example see Skelton 1973, no.3.
