An old vintage Indian litho print of the portraying Lord Vishnu's awe-inspiring universal form. Presented in an original vintage period frame in distressed dark chocolate. Mid-20th c.

Depicted in this delightfully old original litho print is Lord Vishnu's in his awe-inspiring universal form, also known  as Viratswarup or Vishvarupa.

In this form, Vishnu is depicted with multiple heads and arms, often extending in all directions, symbolizing his omnipresence and omnipotence. Each head represents different deities, his numerous arms holding various weapons and attributes associated with Vishnu. Such as the conch, Shankha, the discus, Sudarshana Chakra, and the mace,Gada.

This particular form of Vishnu was revealed to Arjuna, a warrior and the central character in the Bhagavad Gita, on the battlefield of Kurukshetra during the epic Mahabharata war. 

The litho captures the moment when Arjuna witnesses the cosmic and divine aspect of Lord Krishna, who reveals his universal form to emphasize his divine nature and the interconnectedness of all beings.
