Lord Narasimha is the fierce, half-man, half-lion incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who appeared to protect his devotee Prahlada and destroy the demon Hiranyakashipu
Meditative Posture: In this form, Narasimha is typically shown seated in a yogic posture, most commonly Padmasana (lotus pose) or a similar meditative stance. His hands may be in a meditative mudra (gesture), often resting on his knees, or holding his traditional weapons (conch and discus) in his upper hands while the lower hands are in meditation.
Yogapatta (Yoga Strap): A common feature of Yoga Narasimha murtis is a yogapatta or yoga strap that supports his crossed legs, emphasizing his yogic discipline and focused meditation
Characteristics of a 3-inch Bronze Yoga Nrisimhadev Murti:
Size: At 3 inches (approximately 7.6 cm), this is a compact size, suitable for:
Personal puja altar
Office desk or study table
Small display cabinet
Travel altar
Detailing: Despite the small size, skilled bronze artisans can achieve remarkable detail. You can expect to see clear facial features (lion’s mane, eyes, fangs), the yogapatta, attributes in his hands, and the intricate folds of his lower garment.
Finish: Most bronze idols will have either a polished finish or an antique/oxidized finish that enhances the contours and gives it a timeless look.
