☀ SHRI KALIYA KRISHNA ॐ ☀

“Having severely depleted the serpent’s strength with His relentless circling, Śrī Krishna, the origin of everything, pushed down Kāliya’s raised shoulders and mounted his broad serpentine heads. Thus Lord Śrī Krishna, the original master of all fine arts, began to dance, His lotus feet deeply reddened by the touch of the numerous jewels upon the serpent’s heads."~Srimad Bhagavatam 10.16.26

Checked out some of the dressed wells in Malvern this weekend. The theme was "folklore and fairy tales".

By far the best two: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Eco Bhakti Sangha's Krishna and Kaliya (with SO MANY BANGLES making the snake!)

Now I just need to sort through the pics, crop and edit 😐
