This gallery is dedicated to Hindu Lord Vishnu also exhibits some of the royal paraphernalia of the former kings of Patan-believed to be incarnations of Vishnu. Stone sculptures are left uncased, inviting a reverential touch by the hand. The one in the foreground deliberately blocks the long vista behind, withholding for a few further steps the surprise view of the Malla throne at the far end. Discernible on the wall in the left background is a pair of ceremonial staffs, sheathed in embossed silver. And angled mirror above them enables a convenient of their top. (CLAIRE'S: Walls are painted a light terracotta color that is harmonious with the tiled floors and ledges and contrasts the dark stained wood.) Patan Museum at Patan Durbar Square. Patan, Nepal.
