介绍（中）	这幅迷人的毗湿奴画作背在他的天体车辆嘉鲁达的肩膀上，体现了印度教虔诚主义的甜蜜情绪。它归因于画家Sajnu的追随者，Sajnu是一位古勒宫廷画家，他在19世纪初在曼迪统治者Raja Ishvari Sen（1788-1826年在位）下寻求工作。喜马偕尔邦曼迪小王国的工作室以及其他一些小法院的工作室受到Kangra和Guler艺术家的影响。与传统的曼迪绘画相比，它具有更柔和的色调和更安静的调色板，后者的特征可能是强劲而尖锐。这种转变归因于Sajnu的存在以及他在Mandi工作室的遗产。这是帕哈里（希尔）学校类型中罕见的作品，因为它不涉及叙述史诗或虔诚文学中的场景，而是庆祝一个神灵毗湿奴骑着他宏伟的鸟类车辆嘉鲁达。通过这种方式，它把自己挑出来，因为它不是一部与讲故事有关的作品，而是与庆祝毗湿奴神的美丽和优雅有关的作品。因此，最好将其理解为一件非常个人化的作品，注定要在家庭神社房间进行私人崇拜。
介绍（英）	This charming painting of Vishnu borne on the shoulders of his celestial vehicle Garuda, embodies the sweet mood of Hindu devotionalism. It is attributed to a follower of the painter Sajnu, a Guler court painter who sought employment under the Mandi ruler Raja Ishvari Sen (r. 1788-1826) in the early 19th century. The atelier at the small kingdom of Mandi, in Himachal Pradesh, along with those at a number of other lesser courts, came under the influence of the artists at Kangra and Guler. It has a softer tonality and quieter palette than traditional Mandi painting, which may be characterized as robust and strident. This shift is attributed to the presence of Sajnu and his legacy at the Mandi atelier. It is a rare work in the genre of Pahari (Hill) schools in that it concerns itself not with narrating a scene from the epics or devotional literature, but celebrates a single deity, Vishnu, riding his magnificent avian vehicle Garuda. In this way, it singles itself out as a work not concerned with storytelling but rather with celebrating the beauty and grace of Lord Vishnu. As such, it can best be understood as a very personal work, destined for private worship in a household shrine-room.
