Depiction of the battle of Kurukshetra in the Kalamkari painting is amazing as the figures of the Lord Krishna and his friend Arjuna plus the horses are given a refine treatment in the Kalamkari painting. The four horses are painted white, green, yellow and gray, respectively. Lord Krishna is painted indigo. When Arjuna refused to fight against his kith and kins in the battle of Kurukshetra, Lord Krishna showed him his real image as the ruler of the Universe and explained to Arjuna that we have to do our own duty (Karma). The effects are destined to happen. His sermons are compiled in the form of the Great Geeta. Lord Krishna explained Arjuna how He takes birth as different incarnations at different points of time to safeguard his disciples from the impending danger of the destruction of dharma. Kalamkari is an art that involves weaving and hand block printing apart from painting. The figures with rounded shapes and border designs are typical of kalamkari.
This omnipresent form of Lord Krishna as the master of the Universe is one of the most cherished forms for Indian painting. The Lord was manifest in this form before Lord Arjuna at the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Lord Krishna showed Arjuna His Virat rupa when Arjuna was reluctant to fight his kith and kin. In the Bhagavad Gita, part of the epic Mahabharata, there is a point in the discourse between Arjuna and Krishna wherein Arjuna asks the Lord for a vision of his true form. Krishna grants this vision, both glorious and terrifying, in which Arjuna sees the entire universe inside Krishna. This great form of Krishna is called virat-rupa (omnipresent or vast form). The hands of the godheads as well as their headgears have been beautifully painted.

The King once visited the ashram of Jamadagni, with his sons and soldiers. Jamadagni arranged food for the king and his soldiers. A divine cow helped Jamadagni for all these arrangements.
