​ମହାବିଷ୍ଣୁ ପୁରାଣ: ସପ୍ତମ ଅଧ୍ୟାୟ – ସୃଷ୍ଟି ଓ ପ୍ରଳୟ ତତ୍ତ୍ଵ(Mahavishnu Purana: Chapter 7 )

This artistic presentation captures the grand cosmic cycle described in the 7th Chapter of the Mahavishnu Purana. The layout is divided into highly detailed panels, balancing the divine acts of creation with the inevitable stages of cosmic dissolution. ​1. Main Header (ମୁଖ୍ୟ ଶୀର୍ଷକ) ​At the top center, the title "ମହାବିଷ୍ଣୁ ପୁରାଣ - ସପ୍ତମ ଅଧ୍ୟାୟ" is written in a bold, prominent, and elegant Odia script, framed by a golden celestial border against a swirling cosmic backdrop. ​2. Panel 1: Creation of Mankind (ମାନବ ପ୍ରଜାସୃଷ୍ଟି) ​Visuals: Depicts Lord Vishnu resting on the serpent Adi Shesha in the cosmic ocean (Kshira Sagara) alongside Goddess Lakshmi. ​Significance: From the divine aura, the first human ancestors (Manu and Shatarupa) emerge, symbolizing the origin of mankind, flora, and fauna on Earth. ​3. Panel 2: Manifestation of Rudras (ରୁଦ୍ର ଓ ଦେବଗଣ ସୃଷ୍ଟି) ​Visuals: Features the powerful manifestation of Lord Shiva as Rudra, appearing in his multi-armed, fierce yet meditative cosmic form amidst the Himalayan peaks. ​Significance: Surrounding him are the various sub-manifestations of Rudras and celestial deities representing the destructive and transformative energies of the universe. ​4. Panel 3: The Nine Prajapatis & Lord Brahma (ନବ ପ୍ରଜାପତି ସୃଷ୍ଟି) ​Visuals: Lord Brahma (ପରମ ପିତା ବ୍ରହ୍ମା) is centered in an enlarged, magnificent form, seated upon a glowing pink lotus. He is surrounded by the Nav Prajapatis (the nine celestial creators/sages like Marichi, Atri, and Angiras). ​Significance: This emphasizes Brahma's pivotal role in expanding the universe through these mental sons who populate the cosmos. ​5. Side Panel: The Four Types of Dissolution (ଚାରିପ୍ରକାର ପ୍ରଳୟ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା) ​The right side features four distinct vertical segments illustrating the cyclic destruction (Pralaya): ​Naimittika Pralaya (ନୈମିତ୍ତିକ ପ୍ରଳୟ): The occasional dissolution occurring during Brahma's night, showing Lord Vishnu in deep cosmic slumber. ​Prakrita Pralaya (ପ୍ରାକୃତିକ ପ୍ରଳୟ): The elemental dissolution where everything dissolves back into primordial nature, depicted through massive tidal waves and cosmic fire. ​Atyantika Pralaya (ଆତ୍ୟନ୍ତିକ ପ୍ରଳୟ): The absolute liberation or spiritual dissolution, symbolized by a soul achieving Moksha and merging into the supreme consciousness. ​Nitya Pralaya (ନିତ୍ୟ ପ୍ରଳୟ): The continuous or daily dissolution, represented by the eternal wheel of life, death, and decay that affects all living beings constantly.
