A beautifully composed vintage Indian devotional print titled “KRISNAVATIKA” (कृष्णवाटिका), depicting Lord Krishna in an elegant royal garden setting surrounded by richly dressed female companions.
Krishna is shown walking through a formal garden filled with colourful flower beds, ornamental pathways and an elaborate fountain, with a grand palace forming the architectural backdrop. The richly coloured garments, jewellery, carefully arranged landscape and dramatic evening sky give the work a particularly refined and decorative character.
The print retains important original publishing information:
Picture published by – Harnarayen & Sons, Jodhpur
Printed by – Lakshmibilas Press Ltd., Calcutta

The artwork also appears to carry an artist signature reading “Pannalal” in the lower-left area of the image, which is worth retaining visibly in the product photographs.

Collector’s Highlight
The strongest feature of this piece is the combination of the “Krisnavatika” subject, the Harnarayen & Sons, Jodhpur publisher imprint and Lakshmibilas Press Ltd., Calcutta printing credit.
The formal garden, palace architecture and fountain make this composition noticeably more elaborate than a standard Krishna portrait, giving it strong decorative as well as collectible appeal.
Brass is actually an alloy, not a pure metal. It’s a combination of copper and zinc, and the proportions of these metals determine the colour and properties of the brass. Known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, brass has been used for centuries in everything from musical instruments to household items. Using brass utensils can impart a subtle metallic taste to food, enhancing its flavour profile.
