Vishnu And Lakshmi: Emergence From The Cosmic Waters

Colour 3MF and STL files

This masterfully detailed diorama presents a striking tableau of Vishnu and Lakshmi rising from dynamic, almost fluid waves that radiate divine movement. Lord Vishnu, towering at the center, is adorned in richly sculpted garments and a grand, tiered kirita makuta (crown), evoking the majesty of his Vaikuntha form. In his four arms, he holds the chakra (discus), shankha (conch), mace (gada), and a lotus—symbols of cosmic order, purity, strength, and divine beauty.

At the base of the composition sits Goddess Lakshmi on a fully bloomed lotus, her posture serene and her right hand raised in abhaya mudra, offering blessings and assurance. She is flanked by two exquisitely sculpted elephants, each presenting her with a lotus, a motif drawn from the Gaja Lakshmi iconography, symbolizing prosperity and royal consecration. The composition captures the eternal interplay of sustenance and abundance—the union of Vishnu and Lakshmi—as it might be envisioned in the mythic moment of cosmic renewal.
