Indonesia-Java, Borobudur, Four armed Shiva/Vishnu. Seated in padmasana. 3rd gallery.


Borobudur is the world's largest Buddhist Stupa. The walls and balustrades of the third gallery is devoted to the wanderings of Sudhana, terminating with the attainment of the highest Wisdom. In the third gallery, a group composed of a Buddha between these same two would be necessary to make a census of all these images and each of their varieties, to draw up an exact and complete table of them, we might attempt the identification of what for the artists of Java constituted the Buddhist pantheon.
