66" Haloed Chaturbhuja Vishnu, Of Lifelike Proportions In Brass | Handmade | Made In India

Vishnu epitomises motion. The hymns sung to Him in the Vedic yuga and recorded in the Rigveda describes how His three strides are enough to cover the three aspects of ihaloka ie ihaloka in its entirety. In the same hymn it is extolled that He did this in order to rescue us mortals of our inherent distress, towards which cause He has famously descended amongst us in His multiple reincarnations. He is Sheshnag, as He lies peacefully on the giant snake, dreaming up the universe as His wife Devi Lakshmi sits at His feet. He is Narasimha, a ferocious half-man-half-leonine creature that bursts forth from a pillar and tears apart the ahdarmee. He is Rama, the superlative of manhood who enlists a faunal army to rescue His kidnapped wife. He is Krishna, the prince-cowherd as charming in His infancy as in His youth.
