Observe the image and answer the following questions:

Which two brothers are portrayed in the second bullock cart in the painting?

Krishna and Balaram

Answer: Krishna and Balaram are seated in the second bullock cart in the painting, along with their respective mothers, Yashoda and Rohini.

Nanda, Yashoda and Krishna- This painting also illustrates a scene from the Bhagvata Purana and depicts Nanda with his family and relatives, travelling to Vrindavan. They found Gokul infested with demons that bothered Krishna to no end, and hence, decided to move to a safer place. In the painting, Nanda is seen leading the group on his bullock cart and is followed by another bullock cart, wherein, both brothers, Krishna and Balaram and their respective mothers, Yashoda and Rohini, are seated. Men and women carry various household items and children are seen accompanying them. Detailing in their expressions, the activities they are indulging in are intriguing. The tilt of their heads as they talk to each other, an expression of fatigue expressed with downcast eyes because of the heaviness of load on the head and the taut stretching of arms as one firmly holds on to the vessel on the head are all examples of amazing observation and excellent skill. Kangra painters acutely observe the landscape and represent it naturalistically. The details are eloquently expressed. One also observes a flush-cut composition, resembling a photograph, which lends naturalism to the painting.
