The Lord of All

Here, the Preserver of the Universe — Lord Vishnu — is immortalized in an exquisite stone relief that commands both awe and devotion. Depicted in his regal seated posture, Vishnu’s presence radiates authority tempered by compassion. His form is adorned with the shankha (conch), chakra (discus), gada (mace), and padma (lotus) — symbols of his role in sustaining cosmic order. Around him, the carved architecture teems with smaller figures, decorative scrollwork, and mythological scenes that speak of the vastness of his domain. The monochromatic stone palette focuses attention on texture and craftsmanship, revealing the depth of every chisel mark, the precision of every curve. In the play of shadow and light, the figure seems to transcend the confines of the frame, inviting the viewer into a timeless space where the divine maintains the fragile equilibrium of the universe. This work is not just a portrait of a god; it is a map of the cosmos carved in sacred stone.
