Timeless Friendship

In this minimalistic illustration, Lord Krishna kneels in humility, washing the feet of his childhood friend Sudama.

This image draws inspiration from the timeless Mahabharata story where Krishna, despite his royal stature, rushes to embrace and honour his long-lost friend, Sudama, who comes seeking help but leaves with more than he ever imagined.

Despite their contrasting statuses - Krishna as a divine king and Sudama as a destitute Brahmin - the image captures the essence of their pure friendship. Krishna’s act of washing Sudama's feet symbolises love, respect, and a friendship that transcends wealth or social standing.

The tale teaches that true friendship knows no bounds and is based on love, compassion, and understanding.
