The Divine Union: Vishnu and Lakshmi Under the Serpent's Shelter

This exquisite statue captures a profound moment of divine serenity and cosmic protection. Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, is depicted seated serenely beneath the expansive hood of Sheshnag, the primordial serpent, with his divine consort, Goddess Lakshmi, by his side. The deep, rich hue of the red stone, likely sourced from the sacred lands of Odisha, lends an earthy gravitas and ancient aura to this meticulously carved masterpiece. Each figure is rendered with remarkable detail, showcasing the artisan's skill and devotion. ––––––––––

A Symbol of Cosmic Harmony and Protection

The imagery of Vishnu resting on Sheshnag, also known as Ananta, is deeply significant in Hindu mythology. Sheshnag is often described as the king of all nagas and serves as the bed upon which Vishnu rests during the periods of cosmic dissolution (pralaya), a state of cosmic slumber that allows for the renewal of creation. This pose, known as "Ananta Shayana" or "Sheshashayi Vishnu," symbolizes the eternal nature of the divine and the cyclical rhythm of existence. The seven hoods of Sheshnag spreading like a canopy over Vishnu signify protection, knowledge, and cosmic awareness, shielding the lord from the tumultuous forces of the universe. The presence of Goddess Lakshmi, the embodiment of wealth, prosperity, and auspiciousness, beside Vishnu signifies their inseparable union and the ultimate prosperity that arises from divine order. ––––––––––

Artistry from the Heart of Odisha

Crafted from the distinct red stone of Odisha, a region renowned for its sculptural heritage, this statue is a testament to generations of artisanal expertise. The stone itself, with its warm tones and natural texture, is believed to hold a spiritual resonance, connecting the art object to the very earth from which it is born. The carving is intricate, from the detailed ornamentation adorning Vishnu and Lakshmi's garments and jewelry to the subtle textures of Sheshnag's scales and the flowing waves at the base, suggesting the cosmic ocean. The serene expressions on the deities' faces, the graceful posture, and the overall composition speak to a deep understanding of iconography and artistic balance. This is not merely a decorative item, but a sacred object imbued with spiritual narrative and artistic brilliance.
