The scene depicted is from the Harivamsa, or Genealogy of Hari, a supplement to the Mahabharata dealing with the life of Lord Krishna. Here we see Krishna mounted on Garuda approaching a palace in the clouds, accompanied by his son Pradyumna and Satyaki (Arjuna). Indra, King of the Gods, pictured on his white elephant, confronts him, while courtiers look on from the palace courtyard that floats in the clouds.
