Vishnu reclines on the ocean in meditation, absorbing the watery chaos below

the reclining Vishnu tableau represents the long sleep of the god, supported by the naga Anata as he floats on the endless Ocean of Milk. Vishnu drams the cosmos into being and a lotus blooms from his naval, opening to reveal Brahma, while his dutiful wife Lakshmi massages his legs.
