It was prophesized that Kamsa, Krishna's maternal uncle, would be killed by him. He tried all ways to kill baby Krishna but failed every time. After consulting with his demonic ministers, Kamsa instructed a witch named Putana, who knew the black art of killing small children by ghastly sinful methods. Dressed as a beautiful woman, she entered Gokula, saw the baby lying and picked him up. Putana had smeared a very powerful poison on her breasts. She put the baby on her lap and suckled him. Krishna, who was the supreme personality of Godhead, sucked the milk and well as life out of her.
This image in strict tribal idiom, shows Putana as an aging woman with Krishna sucking her breasts. Krishna is depicted as a youth with a crown and flute in hand and not as a baby. For the simple craftsperson, it does not matter how close to reality is the depiction; it is the portrayal that matters. It is a lucid pictoral depiction of Krishna's childhood.
