10th Century Granite South India Tamil Nadu Vishnu
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent sculpture of Vishnu, dating back to the 10th century in South India. Believed to originate from Tamil Nadu, possibly Pudokkatai and created during the early Chola Dynasty, this artwork is an exquisite representation of ancient Indian craftsmanship. Carved out of granite, this Vishnu sculpture stands tall at an impressive height of 129.5 cm (51 inches) with a width of 38.1 cm (15 inches). The attention to detail is awe-inspiring as every intricate feature has been meticulously chiseled into the stone. Vishnu, one of the principal deities in Hinduism, is depicted here with four arms symbolizing his divine powers. His serene expression exudes tranquility and wisdom while his hands hold significant attributes such as a conch shell representing creation, a discus signifying preservation, a mace symbolizing power, and a lotus flower representing purity. The artist's skillful execution brings life to this ancient masterpiece that has stood the test of time for over a millennium. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also serves as a window into South India's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness the profound spirituality and artistic brilliance that flourished during the Chola Dynasty in Tamil Nadu.
