Vishnu is the cosmic pillar (Vishwadhara) that holds the Universe together, assuring balance and order as the divine father of all his beings.
In his classic icons as a four-armed, upright-postured heavenly being, Vishnu embodies the idea of eternal stability.
The traditional iconography of Tamil Vaishnava temple sculptures is followed in the sculpture of Vishnu in this bronze statue.
The ornamentation and attributes of Vishnu are stylistically delineated, with a natural flexibility felt in the way each element curves and dangles, adding to the animate presence of Narayana.
Every Vishnu ornament and quality is exquisitely outlined, with an almost unearthly level of perfection. The two-tiered lotus pedestal is guarded by a finely crafted Garuda with his hands in Namaskara mudra and a devotional bliss on his face. The bronze is sculpted in a rounded manner, to allow the devotee to circumambulate Vishnu while appreciating the craftsmanship that lets human eyes see Vishnu’s abode on earth.
