Garudaseena (seated on the divine Garuda) Vishnu is a picture of his eternal benevolence, always prepared to answer the prayers of the devotee.
In the opulent iconography of Tanjore art, lotus-eyed Vishnu adorned with a garland of lotuses, sits facing the viewer, a gentle smile on his face.
Vishnu is adorned with a Pitambara (yellow garment) and a unique, elaborate crown.
Embellished with 24-karat gold, Garuda appears like a golden bird, its beautiful feathers spread on each side, adding a dynamic energy to the painting.
Miniature figures of elephant and crocodile in the foreground, revering Vishnu, are the artist’s ode to the episode of Gajaendramoksha- where Vishnu freed the king of elephants from the crocodile, blessing them both with Moksha.
