Sukdeva was a learned sage or philosopher and the narrator of the Bhagavatapurana, the epic tale of the life and adventures of the great Hindu god Krishna.

The scene takes place within a small pavilion hovering above the banks of the holy river Ganga (known today as the Ganges), where the recitation took place. |
