Images of Vishnu in this state are found in many a temple in India.
But a Vishnu floating in water, lying down on Adisesha, the Snake, is in Budhanikantha, Nepal.
Here Vishnu is lying face upwards on the Adisesha, floating in a pond.
There is a belief that the if the King sees His eyes , it will be harmful to the eyes.
Karma Kanda per se is very complicated and people were fed up.
Buddhism filled in the void with its Philosophy of change , its Nireswara vada, denial of Personal God, Idol worship and its denial of Vedic Authority.
It is an irony that Buddha is being worshiped as God.
There is a temple in Nepal where Lord Shiva and The Buddha are worshiped in a Temple and in the same Image.
This is Rato Machhendranath or Matsyendranath in the southern part of the Patan Durbar Square ,Nepal.
