He is an angel named Narad meaning Wisdom giver. he wanders in the whole Universe has ascetic powers and gives spiritual guidance to the believers. He always chants with his musical instruments and his favorite mantra is ....Narayan Narayan..... This is an oil painting and Sage Narada is wandering in the Universe chanting Narayana Narayana............and the lotuses I made for two reasons....one is to balance the painting and the second is Lotus is a favorite flower of Lord Vishnu. we know the lotus stands for beauty, symmetry, whiteness and particularly it's ability, both real and mythical, to stand in the midst of waters without itself getting wet.............this fact of nature linguistically expressed in compound word which all Indian languages treasure. In Sanskrit the word Jal(water) rhymes with Kamal(lotus) and the expression JAL- KAMAL is the standard summary and repeated reminder in all religious books and all religious preaching of the essential attitude of devotion in the midst of waters of life..................."to be in the world but not of the world."
