Vishnu sits on the coils of the serpent Shesha


Vishnu, flanked by his consorts, sits in lalitasana on the coils of the serpent Shesha (also known as Ananta), whose extended hoods form a canopy over his head. In his upper right hand Vishnu carries the chakra (discus), in his upper left the shankha (conch), and both his lower hands rest on his knees. Both Śrī Devi and Bhu Devi carry a lotus flower.
