This was from another pillar in Thiruvidanthai. I thought it was a scene where the guy in the right was in a headlock and about to be slapped :-) My father pointed out that there's a mountain in the top of the image and animals under it, and so, this must depict the Govardhana giri incident. That's the one where Indra decides to punish the cowherds for worshipping the mountain and not him, sends down rain and Krishna (who had instigated them to worship the mountain), protects them by picking up the mountain and letting them shelter underneath. Indra of course, sees the error of his ways and begs forgiveness.
He maybe right, but you know, that looks awfully close to a headlock :-)
