The Cosmic Strider: A Majestic Depiction of Vishnu's Omnipresence

This awe-inspiring bronze sculpture captures a pivotal moment in Hindu mythology, portraying Lord Vishnu in his magnificent Ulagalantha Perumal form. The deity is depicted in a dynamic pose, mid-stride, with one leg extended upwards and the other planted firmly on the head of Mahabali, the virtuous but ambitious Asura king. This iconic representation symbolizes Vishnu's divine intervention and his ability to transcend the earthly realm, measuring the universe with his colossal stride. The statue is crafted from Panchaloha, a sacred alloy of five metals traditionally used in Hindu iconography, imparting it with a profound sense of divinity and enduring beauty. ––––––––––––––––––

Echoes of the Vamana Avatar

The narrative behind Ulagalantha Perumal stems from the Vamana avatar of Lord Vishnu. During the reign of Mahabali, who had conquered the heavens, the gods were distressed. Vishnu, in the guise of a dwarf Brahmin named Vamana, appeared before Mahabali and requested a humble boon: three paces of land to call his own. Mahabali, ever generous, agreed. Vamana then miraculously expanded to cosmic proportions, covering the heavens and the earth with two steps. When asked where he would place his third step, Mahabali, recognizing the divine, offered his own head. Vishnu's foot on Mahabali's head signifies the ultimate surrender and the triumph of dharma over ego, a timeless lesson in humility and divine justice. ––––––––––––––––––

Artistry and Divine Symbolism

Every element of this sculpture is imbued with meaning. Lord Vishnu, with his multiple arms, holds various divine attributes. The discus (Sudarshana Chakra) in one hand represents his power to destroy evil, while the conch shell (Shankha) symbolizes his divine sound and the origin of creation. The mace (Gada) signifies his strength and authority, and the lotus (Padma) represents purity and spiritual enlightenment. The intricate detailing of his garments, the ornaments adorning his body, and the serene yet powerful expression on his face speak volumes about the sculptor's mastery and devotion. The Ulagalantha Perumal is not just a statue; it is a tangible representation of cosmic order and divine grace, a powerful reminder of Vishnu's role as the preserver of the universe and the protector of righteousness. Its substantial size and commanding presence make it a truly magnificent centerpiece for any sacred space or a distinguished addition to a discerning collector's art ensemble.
