Gajendramoksha

Vishnu has come down to rescue his ardent devotee, the Gajendra who has been caught by the crocodile while bathing. The painting depicts Vishnu approaching Gajendra whose one foot is in the mouth of the crocodile. Vishnu's vahan, the garuda is shown as a tiny figure in the top left corner. It is a soft and sensitive painting where the water treatment is captured rather beautifully with lotuses.
