A mixed media painting depicting Matsya, the first avatar incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who takes the form of a half-human, half-fish deity to rescue the world from a cosmic deluge. The books held in the deity's hands represent the sacred Vedas, which Matsya retrieved from the demon Hayagriva during the flood.
The composition beautifully merges elements of Kerala mural art with a finer, modern pen-hatching and watercolor technique.
The bottom left hand corner includes the artist signature, K. Mahesh.
