'Krishna Kills the Crane Demon Bakasura'.
c1720 AD #Pahari #Painting by artist Meju of #Mankot #Ramkot #Jammu now at Minneapolis Institute of Art #USA
Bakasura was sent by Kamsa, the Wicked King of #Mathura to kill #Krishna, the 8th Avatar of #Vishnu who had come to Earth to Vanquish Evil.
The Giant Crane Bakasura swallows Krishna. But, the Great God Emits so much Heat that the Demon Disgorges Him. He then kills the #Bird, Ripping it's Beak asunder.

Pahari or #Pahadi School of #Art is a broader term to define the style of #Paintings from Hill region of North #India. #Guler, the narrower term, is the sub-school refering to the city of make, often differing in style slightly.
Other Pahari sub- schools are #Chamba #Kangra #Mandi #Ramkot #Mankot #Basohli #Garhwal #Bahu #Bilaspur #Jammu etc.
