Ocean churning

In the middle of a running water, Vishna and Lakhsmi sit on a lotus flower; in the foreground in the middle a giant tortoise; men with animal heads and others with crowns hold a nine-headed serpent wrapped around the lotus flower stem; in the meadow in the background a few figures and animals, including a multi-headed horse; the sun and the moon in the sky. The scene is framed by a narrow border in green-grey and a border that is wide above and below and quite narrow on the sides, in brown-red.
