Chibi Matsya: Vishnu’s First Avatar

This chibi-style sculpture portrays the Matsya Avatar of Vishnu, his half-human, half-fish form. As the first of Vishnu’s ten primary avatars, Matsya is shown with a playful, childlike expression, seated among swirling waves and surrounded by fish motifs, symbolizing his connection to the ocean. His upper body appears human, adorned with elaborate jewelry and a crown, while his lower body transforms into a fish tail. In his hands, Matsya holds a lotus, representing purity, and a conch (shankha)
