This colorful painting depicts Vishnu in his Kurma Avatar, the second of his ten primary incarnations. Vishnu is portrayed with a human torso and head, but with the legs and shell of a tortoise, symbolizing his terrestrial and aquatic form. He is adorned with a crown, jewelry, and a flowing yellow garment, and holds a conch shell and a chakra, two of his iconic symbols. He is seated on a platform, framed by an ornate archway featuring intricate carvings and decorative elements, typical of traditional Indian art. The background is divided into distinct color sections, with a blue sky above and a patterned base below. The painting is likely a contemporary or modern representation of this important Hindu mythological figure. The artist's name is not mentioned. The title "Kurma Avatar" clearly identifies the subject of the painting and its significance in Hindu mythology.
