Summary[edit]

Description
English: India, Kangra or Guler circa 1820 Here we see the penultimate scene of the battle between Nikumbha and the warriors Krishna, Pradyumna and Arjuna. After Nikumbha proves himself immune to the multiple charges launched against him by the trio, Krishna finally summons his invincible discus the Sudarshana Chakra and aims it at the demon. The Gods and other celestial beings gather amidst the clouds above to witness this climactic scene which ends with the beheading of Nikumbha. Opaque watercolor heightened with gold on paper
