Kaliya-Mardana Krishna
Chola – 10th Century – South India
In this legend, Krishna vanquishes Kaliya who was creating trouble for the residents of Vrindavan. His right hand is in abhaya-mudra, and the left hand holds the snakes tail. The serpent-king, Nagaraja, is shown under the five hoods with his hands joined in anjali-mudra
