At the time of the great deluge aeons ago, many treasures\u2014 including amrita, the nectar of immortality\u2014were lost beneath the primordial ocean. Gods and demons still jockeying for power decided to raise these powerful objects from the watery depths. They harnessed the serpent Vasuki as a rope to turn Mount Mandara and Vishnu assumed his tortoise avatar to support the giant pivot. The demons, tricked into pulling the head of the snake, were weakened by its poisonous breath. Here, many of the treasures have already been raised and are visible in the sky, while Vishnu is seen twice, below and atop the peak.Free picture The Churning of the Ocean of Milk integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
