Preah Vishnu (Wooden Statue)

Standing Vishnu

Lord Vishnu is a Hindu deity who preserves and sustains the universe. He represents the aspect of the Supreme Reality and is occasionally called upon to save the world from some great calamity.

His raised left hand holds a mace, and his raised right hand a war discus. His lower left hand holds a conch, and his lower right, a round object symbolizing the fruit of knowledge. The two front arms indicate Vishnu's activities in the physical world, and the two back arms signify his activity in the spiritual world. The four arms are the signs of Vishnu's omnipresence and omnipotence.

It took 500 hours for our artisans to carve this piece in wood, 144 hours for plastering and 40 hours for the polychrome process and gilding.
