This bronze statue honors the founder of Vishishta-Advaita by depicting the Vaishnava saint-philosopher Sri Ramanujacharya as an ascetic.
This Panchaloha statue, which is from Swamimalai, features elaborate representations of the Shankha (conch) and Chakra (discus), which stand for Lord Vishnu's unending protection.
Ramanujacharya's shoulders are marked with these holy markings, confirming that his body is a place where the divine resides.
The figure, who is seated on a two-tiered lotus throne that represents deep wisdom, reflects the intelligence and grace of a spiritual pioneer who recognized unity in variety. His calm demeanor and composed stance beckon devotees into a place of devotion where the lines separating God and self-become less distinct as a result of the philosopher's esteemed philosophy.
