His face is angular and sharp with his oval eyes almost looking through you with the power of his gaze. Vishnu has a magical face and pure expression! He is dressed in royal silk garments and holds in his four hands the sankha (conch), cakra (discus), gada (mace), a fly whisp in his front right hand. The conch represents "Om", the first sound of creation and also the beginning of matter, since sound and matter are consider to be synonymous. The discus is thought to represent the sun. Vishnu, like Shiva, was originally a minor deity with only five out to 1,028 hymns in the Rig Veda addressed to him. He seems to have been derived from a solar deity. The discus is a vestige of his solar origins. Vishnu's weapon, the mace, represents the elemental force from which all physical and mental powers derive. Vishnu's wife is Lakshmi. For this reason he is bedecked in jewels and decorations that show that he is the wife of the Goddess of Wealth the detail of which is amazing. On his chest is the triangle shaped srivatsa mark, a sign of his immortality. His head dress design is called a Kirita Makutam, a head dress in the shape of a large puja bell. It has a floral pattern going around the top and a narsi image in the front. Care: Vishnu can be used both indoors and outdoors. Dust the piece regularly. If you would like the piece to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the statue. Shipping: Shipping is calculated from Greenwich, Connecticut.
