Description
The sumptuously bejewelled Vishnu wears a towering crown known in iconographical texts as the 'Kiritamukuta.' This is literally and metaphorically the highest of all crowns. The shape is that of a rather conical cylinder, similar to a mitre, ending in a knot or point. When worn by a deity, this signifies that he has a rank among the highest of all gods. An elaborate solar halo frames his head. At the apex of the sculpture can be seen the protective mask of glory (kirtimukha).
