Matsya relief

myminifactory

Matsya's majestic form takes centre stage in this grand sandstone sculpture. A powerful representation of Vishnu's first avatara, Matsya is depicted as a mighty fish, radiating saviour qualities that echo throughout the artwork. Upon his back, a shrine proudly stands, rescued from the engulfing waters by Matsya himself. This poignant visual narrative suggests that many of its references are rooted in Prayaga, a sacred site where the Ganges and Jumna rivers converge. If this is indeed the case, those who behold this image may reap benefits akin to a pilgrimage to Prayaga itself.
