Description / विवरण
Description / विवरण
Visnu reclines on a wooden cot cushioned by the coils of sesa naga whose many hoods form a canopy over his head. He is four armed and carried his conventional emblems except for the mace whihc is lying on the bed as the hand which held it, is used by Visnu to lean his head against. Underneath the bed are seen nine pitchers like motifs in a row. Probably they signfiy nine planets or the ocean. Goddess Laksmi is sitting at the corner massaging the right leg of Visnu which is damaged.
