# Vishnu Vaikuntha

Vishnu Vaikuntha, in which Vishnu manifests his man-lion (Narasimha) and his boar (Varaha) as supplementary heads. Unusually for Vishnu, the body is flexed, not strictly vertical, and he wears a dagger, a royal accoutrement. The long garland (malacakha) fallling to below the knees is still present.

- **Kind:** artefact
