248. Narasimha image in Naggar Art Gallery

Art is a depiction of our imagination making use of a skill, be it a painting or sculpture. Some artist imagined Narasimha as in the picture ...

This stone image of Narasimha (a man with a lion's head, one of the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu, a Hindu deity) is on display in the Roerich Himalayan Art Gallery, Naggar.

  1. Nice variation of Narasimha - a little different from the one we are used to seeing normally.

  2. @Ramakrishnan: Yeh! when I saw this I laughed, comparing this mosquito with the Narasimha we are used to :)
