When the world is beset with difficulties, Vishnu assumes various forms to overcome them and reestablish order. Once, the earth, personified as a woman, was trapped at the bottom of the sea. Vishnu took the form of a boar to dive beneath the waters, free her, and carry her to the surface. Here Vishnu is shown with a boar's head and four-armed human body. The Earth (whose head is broken) is seated at the elbow of Vishnu's upper-left arm.  (Credit; The Asian Art Museum)     This object is part of "Scan The World".
