Das Avatar ( The Ten Incarnations of Lord Vishnu )

 Das Avatar
( The Ten Incarnations of Lord Vishnu )

 At Karnataka Chitrakala Parishad, Bengaluru

               A magnificent lifesize bronze sculpture of Lord Vishnu.  Lord Krishna is depicted as revealing the fact that he is incarnation of Lord Vishnu.  Thus, Lord Krishna is shown with four arms. The upper two arms hold the conch shell and the discuss. At the bottom we see the different incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Interestingly the main figure is flanked by Lord Hanuman on the left, and Garuda on the right. Both great devotees of Lord Vishnu. 
            This sculpture is a great testimony of the artistic tradition of metal sculptors of South India.
