This monumental sculpture\u200a\u2014\u200athe largest in the Museum\u2019s South Asian collection\u200a\u2014\u200ais a rare example of the art of the Pandya dynasty, which, along with the Pallava dynasty, initiated the first great phase of temple building in South India. Vishnu sits on a lion throne in the relaxed, regal posture of lalitasana. His role in Hinduism is to restore order to the human world and to combat evils that threaten the stability of the universe. He originally held a conch (used as a battle trumpet) in his upper left hand and a war discus in his upper right, and his lower right hand was raised in abhaya-mudra.Free picture Enthroned Vishnu integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
