This Panchaloha statue, modeled after the ancient bronzes of Tamil Vaishnava temples, represents the Hindu preserver god Vishnu.
In his characteristic Sampadasthanaka pose, both legs together in an upright position, that conveys balance and stillness, Vishnu is depicted with a youthful body, with a thin waist, broad shoulders, and slim legs, a representation of his eternal youth, which is a virtue of the divine.
Kiritamukuta crown, Makara-shaped earrings that are symbols of beauty and royalty, triangular Srivatsa (symbol of Lakshmi), a rare three-strand Yajnopavita, and Kirtimukha crested ornate waistbelt ornament the beautifully smiling Vishnu, adding heavenliness to his image.
