This image shows Narasimha, the man-lion, with his consort. The image has been cast using the lost-wax process and has then been refined with chiselling and engraving.

Narasimha is shown seated and with four arms, and a dramatic face with bulging eyes, bulging cheeks and a gaping mouth.

The consort here is Lakshmi (also known as Sri Devi). She sits on Narasimha’s left knee. His lower left hand rests on her hip and her right hand is placed on the small of his back for balance.

Narasimha also holds a chakra wheel and a conch in his upper pair of arms; these being symbols of Vishnu. His front right hand is in vitarka mudhra. He is seated on a round throne comprising

the coiled, scaly body of a naga, that is atop a two-tiered square dais that has been engraved with lotus petal motifs. Both Narasimha and Lakshmi have elegant and detailed dhoti garments and jewellery,

and tall, conical headdresses. Narasimha is one of the eight avatars of Vishnu. The deity’s name derives from two words: ‘nara’ meaning ‘man’ and ‘simha’ meaning ‘lion’. Vishnu assumed the appearance

of a half-man half-beast to overcome a demon king who could not be killed by either a man or a beast. The lion characteristics as manifested in the deity’s face are fierceness, bravery and independence.

Representations of Narasimha often are found in stone relief in temples in Tamil Nadu, where this avatar of Vishnu is popularly portrayed. Narasimha is flanked by Hanuman and Garuday both standing on a lotus base next to the center scuptures.
