The beautiful brass image of Lord Vishnu, one of the Trinity and one, who is responsible for the preservation of the Universe, is being exquisitely carved out with some sparkling features. A relaxed and recumbent Lord Vishnu is resting on the five-hooded serpent Adisesha and His two consorts are praying Him with deep devotion and love.
An amazing Kalamkari painting paints the Lord of Universe, the Protector on the Universe, Lord Vishnu taking rest on Shesh-Naag even as other gods are taking a bow to the Lord. The abundance in the use of colours and the characters that emerge on cotton fabric, help create a spectacular spread in a Kalamkari painting. Kalamkari art is unique in its use of colour as a medium to portray mythological characters. As the name suggests, Kalamkari is the art of painting cotton fabrics with a kalam i.e. pen, a sharp pointed pierced bamboo that regulates flow of colour on the fabric. The popularity of this exquisite form of art crossed the shores of the country during the 17th and 18th centuries. Kalahasti and Machilipatnam in Andhra Pradesh, the nerve centres of this art continue to be beehives of Kalamkari activity. Kalamkari colours are made from vegetable dyes.

Description
In this beautiful brass figure, Lord Vishnu is depicted taking rest on the serpent Shesha. In Hindu tradition, Shesha also known as Sheshanaga, is the king of all Nagas (serpent deities), one of the primal beings of creation, and according to the Bhagavata Purana, an avatar of the Supreme God known as Narayana. He is sometimes referred to as Ananta Shesha which translates as endless-Shesha or as Adishesha which means the first Shesha. It is said that when Adishesa uncoils, time moves forward and creation takes place.
Shesha is generally depicted with a massive form that floats coiled on the ocean of milk, to form the bed on which Vishnu lies.
Shesha is also depicted as floating in the ocean of the changing world, forming the bed of Maha Vishnu. He is also known as Adishesha (the foremost of snakes) because of this and Anantashesha or simply Ananta (endless, as he is known to remain in existence even after the end of the Kalpa, when the whole universe is destroyed).
The beautiful wooden figure depicts Lord Vishnu, one of the Trinity in Hinduism, the two other being Lord Shiva and Brahma, being carried by His vehicle Garuda, the hald-eagle and half-human figure.
In Hindu mythology, a Garuda is a Hindu divinity, usually the mount (vahanam) of Vishnu. Garuda is depicted as having a golden body, white face, red wings, and an eagle's beak and wings but a man's body. He wears a crown on his head. He is ancient and huge, and can block out the sun.
According to the epic, when Garuda first burst forth from his egg, he appeared as a raging inferno equal to the cosmic conflagration that consumes the world at the end of every age. Frightened, the gods begged him for mercy. Garuda, hearing their plea, reduced himself in size and energy.
Garuda's father was the creator-rishi Kasyapa. His mother was Vinata, whose sister was Kadru, the mother of serpents. One day, Vinata lost a bet to her sister and was enslaved to her sister. When Garuda approached the serpents seeking her freedom, the serpents wanted Garuda to bring them the elixir of immortality, also called amrita, found itself in the possession of the gods, who guarded it jealously, since it was the source of their immortality. They had ringed the elixir with a massive fire that covered the sky. They had blocked the way to the elixir with a fierce mechanical contraption of sharp rotating blades. And finally, they had stationed two gigantic poisonous snakes next to the elixir as deadly guardians.
Undaunted, Garuda hastened toward the abode of the gods intent on robbing them of their treasure. Knowing of his design, the gods met him in full battle-array. Garuda, however, defeated the entire host and scattered them in all directions. Taking the water of many rivers into his mouth, he extinguished the protective fire the gods had thrown up.
Reducing his size, he crept past the rotating blades of their murderous machine. And finally, he mangled the two gigantic serpents they had posted as guards. Taking the elixir into his mouth without swallowing it, he launched again into the air and headed toward the eagerly waiting serpents. En route, he encountered Vishnu. Rather than fight, the two exchanged promises. Vishnu promised Garuda the gift of immortality even without drinking from the elixir, and Garuda promised to become Vishnu's mount. Flying onward, he met Indra the god of the sky. Another exchange of promises occurred. Garuda promised that once he had delivered the elixir, thus fulfilling the request of the serpents, he would make it possible for Indra to regain possession of the elixir and to take it back to the gods. Indra in turn promised Garuda the serpents as food.
At long last, Garuda alighted in front of the waiting serpents. Placing the elixir on the grass, and thereby liberating his mother Vinata from her servitude, he urged the serpents to perform their religious ablutions before consuming it. As they hurried off to do so, Indra swooped in to make off with the elixir. From that day onward, Garuda was the ally of the gods and the trusty mount of Vishnu, as well as the implacable enemy of snakes, upon whom he preyed at every opportunity.
The beautiful Patachitra painting of Lord Vishnu on His vehicle Garuda is given a spectacular treatment. The background of the clouds are also beautifully treated.
There is an interesting story about Garuda’s birth.
According to the epic, when Garuda was first born out of an egg, he appeared as a raging inferno equal to the cosmic conflagration that consumes the world at the end of every age. Frightened, the gods prayed for mercy. Garuda, hearing their plea, reduced himself in size and energy.
Garuda's father was the creator-rishi Kasyapa, mother Vinata, whose sister was Kadru, the mother of serpents. Vinata lost a bet and became enslaved to her sister. Garuda approached the serpents. He was told that they would free his mother if Garuda could bring them the elixir of immortality, also called amrita. The amrita at that time was in the possession of the gods, who guarded it jealously, since it was the source of their immortality. They had ringed the elixir with a massive fire that covered the sky. They had blocked the way to the elixir with a fierce mechanical contraption of sharp rotating blades. And finally, they had stationed two gigantic poisonous snakes next to the elixir as deadly guardians.
Garuda defeated the gods and took the elixir into his mouth. He came toward the eagerly waiting serpents. En route, he encountered Vishnu. Rather than fight, the two exchanged promises. Vishnu promised Garuda the gift of immortality even without drinking from the elixir, and Garuda promised to become Vishnu's mount. At last, Garuda could liberate his mother Vinata.
