Krishna & Kaliya
Kaliya is a mythological character that was the five headed serpent king. Kaliya resided in Yamuna River with several other snakes. His mouths vomited fire and smoke and his venom had poisoned the river.
When Lord Krishna was a child he used to play with his friends near the River Yamuna. One day while playing their ball falls into the river. Krishna jumped into the river where Kaliya with the other snakes dwelt.
Krishna`s companions and friends were horrified but Balarama called upon him to exercise his divine power. Krishna exercised his celestial prowess and with his celestial vigor bruised the head of the venomous and powerful snake. Krishna placed his foot on the middle head of Kaliya and compelled Kaliya and other snakes to implore mercy. Krishna freed Kaliya and his followers when they promised to leave the earth from their presence.
The devil, Asura Kalanemi lived within Kaliya.
Hi! My name is Mrinalini and this blog is a documentation of my final project at Srishti College of Art Design & Technology. My final project is to create a graphic novel, spreading awareness to the citizens of delhi on the rising pollution of river yamuna. By the means of my novel, I hope to raise awareness on the issue so that the citizens of Delhi can pressurize the government to take action against the growing pollution.
