Sri Vishnu in Hinduism is the supreme protector, synonymous with the human sovereign who sustains and protects his Praja or subjects. The omnipresent grace of Vishnu is presented in this antique wood statue, where the four-armed Lord appears on the throne of Shesha’s coils, which is in turn placed on an inverted lotus pedestal. Lotus in Hinduism is a symbol of the origin of the Universe and Shesha represents eternal time. Placed on these profound symbols, Sri Vishnu in this wooden statue, shaded by the Chattra (royal umbrella) of Shesha’s hoods, is the supreme sovereign of three realms.

Lord Vishnu on the Cosmic Serpent

This exquisite wooden statue captures the divine presence of Lord Vishnu, the preserver and protector of the universe, in a serene and powerful posture. Seated majestically upon Sheshnag, the king of all serpent deities, this idol embodies a profound narrative woven into the fabric of Hindu mythology. Sheshnag, also known as Ananta, is depicted with multiple hooded heads forming a protective canopy, signifying the infinite and the cosmic consciousness that supports existence. In Hindu cosmology, Lord Vishnu rests upon Sheshnag in the primordial ocean during the intervals between cosmic cycles, a representation of supreme stillness and cosmic sleep from which all creation arises. The intricate detailing of the carving highlights the divine adornments of Lord Vishnu, from the ornate crown to the symbolic objects held in his hands. His posture, a graceful seated position with one hand raised in blessing or abhaya mudra (gesture of fearlessness), emanates peace and assurance. The coiled form of Sheshnag beneath him is rendered with remarkable texture, suggesting the divine serpent's immense power and stability. This portrayal is a classic depiction found in numerous temples and art forms across India, symbolizing the divine order that governs the universe. ––––––––––

A Testament to Craftsmanship and Devotion

Crafted from wood, this statue showcases the skill of traditional artisans who have breathed life into the inanimate material. The aged patina and subtle color accents of the wood lend a vintage charm, evoking a sense of antiquity and spiritual depth. Each stroke of the chisel has contributed to the expressive features of Lord Vishnu and the majestic form of Sheshnag, making this piece not just an object of worship, but a work of art that resonates with centuries of devotion. The subtle wear and tear, often found in vintage pieces, adds to its authenticity and storytelling, suggesting a journey through time and devotion. In tales such as the creation myth from the Puranas, Sheshnag is instrumental in bearing the weight of the universe and providing a divine resting place for Lord Vishnu. The multifaceted heads of the serpent can be interpreted as representing the multiplicity of the universe or the watchful eyes of divine protection over all beings. This idol serves as a powerful reminder of the cyclical nature of existence, the divine protection that surrounds us, and the enduring presence of the preserver god. It is an ideal centerpiece for any altar, meditation space, or as a statement piece in your home, bringing an aura of peace, spiritual strength, and cosmic harmony.
