In the Gupta period details of Krishna's life and his various exploits began to be depicted in sculpture. For example, lifting of the mount Govardhana, and Kāliya-mardana in Mathura art, Shakaṭa-Līlā in the Brahmanical temple at Devagarh, Dhenukāsura Līlā and scenes of Rādhā-Krishna love-sports in the panels of the Stūpa at Paharpur (which are of somewhat later date). Several other scenes are also depicted on terracotta plaques from the site of Suratgarh, Bikāner.
