The image depicts four-armed Vishnu seated in lalitasana, a pose of elegance and poise, on a high pedestal. He is shown carrying a chakra and shankha in his rear hands, symbols of spiritual power and purification respectively. His front right hand is in abhaya mudra, a gesture of protection and reassurance.
