Krishna on Banyan Leaf Tanjore Painting

Sri Krishna resting on Banyan Leaf sucking his toe is a significant iconography in referred to as Vatapatrasayi - Lord of the Banyan Leaf
In Tamil the portrayal is called as Aalilai Krishnar. Aalilai is Banyan Leaf
As per Markandeya Purana "Bala Gopala, the miraculous baby Krishna, lies on a banyan leaf, content, innocent, with a hint of amusement on his face. All around him, waters rise to submerge the continents and mountains, drowning every forest, river valley, desert and island. He is unaffected by the pralaya (doomsday), while a sage watches the miracle, amazed"
While there are different versions of the pralaya myth in the Mahabharata, the Matsya Purana and the Bhagavat Purana, the idea is similar. During the dissolution of the universe, the sage Markandeya witnesses the great deluge. Suddenly, he spots a little child floating on a banyan leaf on the dangerous torrents, grabbing his lotus-like toe and placing it in his mouth
Markandeya realises that Gopala has withdrawn the world into himself before recreating the universe
