Summary

[edit]
Artist
Nandikolla Gopala Rao
Description
English: Sriman Narayana" was his next master piece in 1928.. The beauty of the ancient mythiology of gods and goddesses was given a new life with Sri N. Gopala Rao’s rich and mellow colors. His painting reflected a radiant beauty which could only be worshiped. The Vibrant colors used in the painting of Sriman Narayana reflect the artist’s talent in the use of colors.

The portrait, depicts the manifestation of Sriman Narayana as Vishnu, who resides on a milk ocean. He is portrayed as the inner-soul of all living beings starting from small ant to four headed Brahma. Vishnu is always to be depicted holding the four attributes associated with him, being: A conch shell, held by the upper left hand, which represents creativity. The chakra, a sharp-spinning discus-like weapon, held by the upper right hand, which symbolizes the mind. A mace, held by the lower left hand, which represents individual existence. A lotus flower, held by the lower right hand, which represents liberation or dispersion.

Reclining on the coiled-up thousand-hooded Shesha Naga, the assemblage rests on the "Kshira Sagar" (ocean of Milk).
