Damodar Photo –Krishna Tied by Mother Yashoda (8 x 11 inch)
Few scenes in the Vaishnava tradition melt the heart as quickly as the one shown in this Damodar Photo. A small, restless Krishna, caught after upsetting a pot of butter, stands tied to a heavy wooden mortar. Mother Yashoda tried rope after rope, but each one fell short by two fingers. Only when she was exhausted, sweat on her brow, did the Lord allow Himself to be bound. The Master of countless universes was tied by a mother’s love, and that is how He got the name Damodar, “the one with a rope around His belly.”
Why keep Damodar Photo picture at home
Hanging a Damodar Photo in your house brings that sweet pastime into ordinary days. Devotees cherish it most in the month of Kartika, when a lamp is offered to Lord Damodar every evening and the Damodarashtakam is sung. But it works in every season. One look at the picture reminds you that Krishna is not won by cleverness, status or strength. He is won by affection and sincere effort.

A small note on care
Cardboard does not like moisture, so keep the picture away from damp walls, kitchen steam and direct water. Handle it with clean, dry hands. If you want it to last for years, put it behind glass in a simple frame. A little care keeps the colours fresh and the picture worthy of the place you give it.
