(5 x 4 ft) Acrylic on Canvass
The Dashavataras or the 10 incarnations were taken by Vishnu to re-establish dharma or righteousness and destroy tyranny and injustice on earth. Here the artist expresses the avatars as seen through the vision of Anjaneya, the Chiranjeeva. The beautiful form of Lord Vishnu is depicted on Kurma with the other 9 avatars Matsya, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Balarama, Krishna and Kalki in the background. Also shown are Narada and Tumburu the celestial musicians who always sing the glory of Lord Vishnu.
