1737 Appearance Avatar Deity Eighth Hindu Hinduism Incarnation Manifestation Vishnu
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Eighth Avatar of the revered Hindu deity, Vishnu. Known as Shesha Avatar or Ananta Shesha, this manifestation of Vishnu is depicted as a serpent, often described as Ananta, which means 'endless.' In Hindu mythology, Shesha is the divine serpent upon whom the cosmic ocean rests, and Vishnu resides in its center as the preserver of the universe. The intricately detailed print, hailing from India, transports us back to the rich historical and cultural tapestry of the subcontinent. The image is believed to date back to 1737, showcasing the exquisite artistry and devotion of the time. The deity is depicted in a regal pose, with multiple hoods adorning his coiled form, symbolizing his infinite wisdom and power. The people in the image, dressed in traditional attire, add a sense of authenticity and historical context to the scene. The lush landscape in the background, dotted with trees and teeming with wildlife, underscores the harmony between nature and the divine. Hinduism, one of the world's oldest religions, is known for its diverse deities and intricate mythology. Vishnu, as the preserver, is one of the most revered gods, and his various avatars represent different aspects of the divine. The Shesha Avatar is a testament to the deep spiritual connection between the people of India and their faith, a connection that has endured through the ages. This print is a beautiful reminder of the rich history, culture, and spirituality of India and the Hindu religion. It invites us to reflect on the timeless wisdom and the infinite power of the divine, as embodied by the Eighth Avatar of Vishnu, Ananta Shesha.
