Vishnu, c. 1000, India: Tamil Nadu
The Hindu god Vishnu is known as the preserver and protector of the universe. Here, he stands with his tall crown and his front left hand resting against his thigh in a gesture known as katyavilamvita, which signifies his easing of sorrow and suffering.

Breathe in love.
Radiate love.
