More Info

This vibrant lithograph by Ravi Verma Press, depicts the Hindu deity Vishnu, a central figure in Hindu mythology known as the preserver of the universe. It portrays Vishnu standing gracefully on a large pink lotus flower, which symbolizes purity and divine birth. He is adorned with an elaborate headdress featuring a peacock feather, a traditional attribute often associated with his avatar Krishna, and a radiant halo surrounds his head, emphasizing his divine nature. His skin is a striking blue, a color representing his cosmic essence, and he is dressed in ornate yellow and red garments adorned with floral garlands and intricate jewelry, including necklaces, armlets, and anklets. In his four hands, he holds his iconic attributes: a conch shell, a discus, a mace, and a lotus flower, each symbolizing different aspects of his power and protection.
