A conical Vaishnava Kiritamukuta, Makara-kundala (symbols of beauty and royalty), Skandhabhushana (shoulder ornaments), necklace, Yajnopavita (sacred thread), Udarbandha (stomach belt), armlets and dhoti adorn the Hindu preserver god Vishnu in this bronze, one of the most popular aspects of Vishnu-Narayana in his Chaturbhuja roopa.
Standing in an erect and still pose, Vishnu in this Panchaloha icon conveys an active yet unmovable presence, like an omnipresent guardian who protects the Universe.
Sculpted in a rounded manner, Vishnu stands on a two-tiered lotus pedestal, inspired by the traditional Chola bronzes from where this iconography originated and developed.
