Now on view at the studio.
The opening
Viśvaṃ Viṣṇuḥ was unveiled at the studio in Jayanagar, among brass lamps and hand-lettered verses, and it has stayed on view since.
Darśana · the front
Eight elements, read in a single glance. Each one is placed for a reason that can be traced.
01
Divine tejas
The radiance a devotee meets first, and the last thing the eye leaves.
02
Vaishnava identity mark
The white is the feet of Viṣṇu. The red between them is Lakṣmī.
03
Raw camphor of devotion
Healing of the wound made by an ardent devotee.
04
Sound and cosmic protection
The sound of auspicious beginnings, and the protection of cosmic order.
05
Celestial jewel of Vishnu
Of everything the churning of the ocean gave up, this is what he kept.
06
Lotus of purity
From the navel of Viṣṇu grows the lotus, and from the lotus, Brahmā.
07
Shiva as kshetrapala
The guardian of every Viṣṇu temple, carried on the face of the one who dwells in it.
08
Three signs, one form
Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśa, contemplated through three distinct signs in one form: the lotus, the mark on the brow, and the eye that the vesica draws around the jewel.
