Anantashayana

Anantashayana

Form of Vishnu immersed in meditation and lying on the serpent of eternity Ananta, which is located in the Govindaraja temple inside the Chidambaram shrine. This major pilgrimage center of Tamil Nadu is located on the Vellar River, fifty kilometers from Pondicherry. Chidambaram is one of the most sacred places in Shaivism because it is there that Shiva performed the dance of bliss (ananda-tandava) on the body of the dwarf Apasmara (the man without memory). Shiva is therefore worshiped there in the form of Nataraja, the cosmic dancer. The second painting represents an utsavamurti of Vishnu sitting on the serpent Shesha.
