The powerful man-lion form of Vishnu, Lord Narasimha, is shown in this Tanjore artwork with a celestial air of protection and sovereignty.
Narasimha is seated majestically on a throne, shadowed by Shesha Naga, smiling benevolently at the viewer.
Goddess Lakshmi sits next to him, is a representation of auspiciousness, and her presence adds to the scene's harmony.
Devas (gods) have descended to worship the glory of Narasimha, joining the young devotee Prahlada in standing joyfully with her hands folded.
With lamps and fruits laid out in the foreground, this Tanjore is a divine temple for the devotees of Sri-Narasimha.
