Title: "Vishnu: An Eleventh Century Sculpture from Bihar, India, Housed in the British Museum, London" This image showcases a beautifully preserved 11th-century sandstone sculpture of Vishnu, the preserver deity in Hinduism, hailing from the ancient Indian region of Bihar. The sculpture, now a cherished artifact, is proudly displayed at the British Museum in London, England, a testament to the rich cultural exchange between India and the United Kingdom throughout history. Vishnu is depicted in his reclining form, known as Anantasayana or Anantha Shesha, resting on the thousand-headed serpent Ananta, also known as Shesha. The god is shown with four arms, each holding symbolic objects: a conch shell, a discus, a lotus flower, and a mace.
