A painted mural panel on a palace wall shows a scene from Krishna's childhood. A woman in a green blouse and red-pink skirt with gold waistband kneels and holds the hand of a young blue-skinned boy with a peacock-feather crown, who stands in front of her. Beside him, a small child with a necklace and gold anklets stands with arms folded. Two naked children play near an arched doorway on the right, and two more run along the left side. Arched windows and a gray wall with gold trim frame the scene, with trees visible through the open doorway. Gold and red borders surround the panel. No physical people are present in the photograph itself.
