DESCRIPTION
This plate is inspired by an opaque watercolour painting on paper depicting Ugra Narasimha, one of the avatars (incarnations) of Vishnu. In the painting, Ugra Narasimha is seated in lalitasana on a dais wedged between two parts of a split pillar, with the demon Hiranyakasipu on his lap.
Ugra Narasimha is depicted with fourteen arms, with the six central arms tearing out the king's intestines. The remaining eight arms are shown without attributes. His lion face is surrounded by a halo of flames, and the dark-complexioned Hiranyakasipu lies supine across Narasimha's knees. Hiranyakasipu brandishes a sword in his right hand and carries a shield in his left.
The story of Narasimha embodies the idea that divine intervention can manifest in unexpected forms. It serves as a reminder that goodness ultimately prevails over evil.
