Little Krishna is an animated series that holds a prominent place in Indian mythology. The series' first episode season, The Darling of Vrindavan, is a tribute to the Hindu god, Krishna. The story begins with Devaki, Krishna's mother, giving birth to him in captivity. To ensure Krishna's safety from his evil uncle, Kansa, Krishna's father, Vasudeva, sneaks him out of the prison and takes him to Yasoda and Nanda, who become Krishna's foster parents. Nanda and Yasoda live in Vrindavan and are cowherds by profession.

The episode introduces us to the world of Little Krishna and Vrindavan. We see colorful, vibrant scenes of the village, with cows grazing, children playing, and the smell of blooming flowers in the air. It is a beautiful utopia that's untouched by Kansa's evil reign. We hear Krishna's flute playing in the background, and the scene cuts to Yasoda's house, where she is feeding baby Krishna, referring to him as her own child.

Everyone in Vrindavan loves Krishna; he is amusing, playful, and mischievous, but still a lovable child. Krishna's nickname, literally translated, means "the dark one", and this episode explains how he got it. While Yasoda is feeding him, his friends sneak into his room and steal butter from his pot. Krishna is a fan of butter and is upset when he realizes that it's missing. In his pursuit of the butter thieves, he smears the butter all over himself and gets covered in it. This is how he becomes known as the dark one.

When mother Yasoda sees Krishna covered in butter, she becomes upset and scolds him. She orders him to go and bathe in the Yamuna river to clean himself up, but Krishna has other plans. He wants to play with his friends and continues chasing after them throughout the village. In the meantime, Kansa starts to plot his revenge. He notices that Krishna is away from Yasoda's reach, and decides that it is the perfect opportunity to strike.

Kansa orders the demon, Putana, to kill baby Krishna. Putana is disguised as a beautiful woman and attempts to trick Yasoda into providing her with access to baby Krishna. Krishna saves the day by killing the demon Putana and proving his divinity to his mother.

The episode's animation is delightful, and it is clear that a lot of thought has gone into the creation of the characters and surroundings. The music is exceptional, and the sound effects of Krishna playing the flute are mesmerizing. The voice acting matches the mood of the scene perfectly; for example, Yasoda's voice is comforting, and Krishna's voice is playful.

The show's first episode is a delight to watch and introduces you to the world of Little Krishna. It is essential to immerse yourself in the mythology of the series, as it is a significant aspect of Indian culture. This episode is a perfect introduction for the younger audience to the world of Little Krishna, and also serves as a great reminder for adults.
