Vishnu Flanked by His Personified Attributes
The bronze statue depicts Vishnu flanked by his personified attributes. Vishnu is a central figure with a serene expression. He wears a crown and a necklace. A decorative halo encircles his head. His right hand holds a conch shell, and his left hand holds a club. A short dhoti wraps around his waist. He stands barefoot on a lotus. To Vishnu's right is a figure holding a discus. To his left is a figure holding a bow and arrow. A small figure sits at Vishnu's feet, leaning back. The entire statue rests on a square base with an inscription. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
