Question

In which painting Lord Krishna is painted in Veerat (Large) Rupa?

• A. Krishna with Gopis
• B. Krishna lifting Mount Govardhana
• C. Nand, Yashoda and Krishna going to Vrindavan with Kinsmen
• D. Krishna on Swing

Hint:

"Veerat Rupa" usually means the god is shown in a magnified, divine form — look for paintings with large or cosmic depictions of deities.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The painting "Krishna lifting Mount Govardhana" is a famous example from Indian miniature art traditions, where Lord Krishna is portrayed in his Veerat Rupa or gigantic form. In this scene from mythology, Krishna lifts the entire Govardhan mountain with his little finger to protect the people of Vrindavan from the wrath of Lord Indra, who sends torrential rain. In the artwork, Krishna is depicted as a large central figure with an umbrella-like mountain overhead and villagers and animals taking shelter beneath it. His divine and powerful form is shown significantly larger than other characters in the painting — symbolizing his cosmic strength and godly nature. This is a classic representation of heroism and protection, where Krishna’s divine intervention saves his devotees, a key theme in Indian art and Bhakti traditions.
