Palm leaf painting, 'Vishnu's Story'
Lord Krishna tells the story of Lord Vishnu's ten incarnations, or Dasabatana, in this traditional palm leaf painting. Vishnu is the reassuring cosmic deity of preservation in India. He took the form of a fish to save the four Vedas (holy books) from the sea. As a tortoise, he stabilized the newly-created earth on his back, and as a boar, lifted the earth with his tusks. Vishnu took the form of a man-lion to slay a demonic ruler, and provided protection as a dwarf. He wields an axe to avenge his father's murder, and appears as Lord Rama with a bow and arrow. Vishnu is also depicted as Buddha, and as Kalki on a white horse. At the top of the lovely painting, Lord Krishna climbs on his friends' shoulders to steal a pot of curd. Soma Nath Upadhyay etches the patterns on natural palm leaves, and natural dyes fill the etched lines.
