Vishnu on Ananta, the Endless Serpent, c. 1700. Creator: Unknown.

Vishnu on Ananta, the Endless Serpent, c. 1700. Before the creation of the world, the god Vishnu was asleep on the serpent Ananta, floating on the cosmic ocean. When the time came for him to create the world, Vishnu?s wife Lakshmi woke him gently by massaging his feet. Then, out of his navel emerged a lotus flower, and Vishnu gave birth to Brahma, the god of creation.   As plants that grow in water, lotus flowers indicate the presence of the waters, and in this painting they are boldly distributed over a deep brown background with basket-weave patterning.
