The Universe Within!

Inspired by the Mahabharata, this illustration captures the tender yet profound moment when Mother Yashoda lovingly scolds her mischievous child, Krishna. Kneeling before him, she insists he open his mouth after catching him eating dirt. When Krishna obeys, Yashoda is astonished to see the entire universe reflected within his small mouth—stars, planets, time itself, and even her own reflection.

In this divine revelation, Krishna’s true identity as the Lord of the cosmos shines through his playful guise as a child. The scene portrays not only the sacred bond between mother and child but also the deeper message that divinity can exist in the most humble and ordinary forms.
