Narsimha – High Quality Print of Artwork by Pieter Weltevrede

Narasimha is  the half-man, half-lion, and fourth incarnation of Hindu God Vishnu – the preserver. He was incarnated to slay the demon, Hiranykashipu, the father of an ardent devotee of Vishnu, Prahalad. Hiranyakashipu hated Vishnu for killing his brother Hiranyaksha. Hiranyakashipu gains blessing by which he could not be killed during the day or night, inside or outside, by god, demon, man or animal. To slay the demon, Vishnu incarnates as a mix of man and animal and kills the Hiranyakashipu at the junction of day and night, inside and outside. He is depicted as four-armed, holding conch, lotus, mace, and chakra (disk-like weapon), standing at the threshold of the house.

The Artwork is printed on Felix Schoeller coated matte paper imported from Germany, which is a type of paper specifically designed to have a smooth, non-reflective surface. The printing process utilized Epson Ultrachrome HDX inks, known for their high-quality and durability, if framed and displayed under specific conditions like room temperature will last for few decades . These inks are renowned for their vibrant color reproduction and excellent fade resistance, ensuring that the printed artwork maintains its visual appeal for a long period of time.
