Vishnu seated on the coils of the serpent Shesha in a palatial hall on a hill, possibly Vaikuntha, with Brahma and Vayu. Vishnu carries in his upper right hand the chakra (discus) and in his upper left the shankha (conch), while his lower right and lower left hands are in abhaya and varada mudra. The four-headed Brahma’s upper right hand carries the mala (string of beads) and in his upper left is the kamandalu (water vessel); his lower right hand rests on his thigh and his lower left arm is raised. Vayu has a mala (string of beads) in his upper right hand, a flag in his upper left hand, his lower right hand is in jnana mudra and he holds an unidentified object under his arm.
