02-Vasudeva crosses Yamuna river

This image portrays the divine journey of Vasudeva carrying infant Krishna across the Yamuna River, moments after his birth. To protect Krishna from the cruel King Kamsa, Vasudeva secretly transported him from Mathura to Gokul. Miraculously, the river parted, and Adisesha (serpent) sheltered the divine child from the storm. This powerful scene from the Bhagavata Purana symbolizes divine protection and the beginning of Lord Krishna’s leelas. The location is associated with Krishna Janmabhoomi and Gokul, making it a sacred pilgrimage destination. This historic moment is celebrated every year during Sri Krishna Janmashtami with great devotion across India
