1737 Appearance Avatar Deity Hindu Hinduism Incarnation Manifestation Vishnu
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the third avatar, or incarnation, of the Hindu god Vishnu, in his manifestation as Narasimha. Narasimha, meaning "man-lion," is depicted here in all his divine glory, with the upper body of a lion and the lower body of a human. This powerful and terrifying form of Vishnu emerged from a pillar to save his devotee, Prince Hiranyakashipu's son Prahlada, from the wrath of his father. The image, captured in a rich and intricate painting style, dates back to 1737 in India. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the mythological story to life, with Narasimha shown standing on the chest of the demon Hiranyakasipu, who lies defeated beneath him. The god's fierce expression and the intense energy radiating from his body convey the strength and power of this divine being. The landscape in the background, with its lush greenery and serene river, adds to the peaceful and calming atmosphere, contrasting the intense and violent scene unfolding in the foreground. The use of gold and red hues in the painting further emphasizes the divine nature of the god and the importance of this story in Hinduism. This print is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Hinduism in India and beyond. It serves as a reminder of the various forms that the Hindu deities take to protect and guide their devotees, and the enduring power of faith and devotion. The intricate details and vivid colors make this a stunning addition to any collection, whether for personal use or for educational and research purposes.
