Lord Krishna is identified with flute which is an inert insentient piece of matter but when played by lord emanates divine music. Like wise this human body is inert and insentient. The consciousness expresses itself through the five sense organs and mind-and-intellect, and brings out divine harmony and peace both within and without, which in itself is melody and music of life.

This painting is an effort to bring together north and south Indian art culture. Here Krishna as we know in north India is depicted in Tanjore art work.
