Vi\u015bvar\u016bpa\u00a0(Visvarupa) is the cosmic vision of Krishna revealed to Arjuna in the\u00a0Bhagavad-Gita<\/em>\u00a0before the Mahabharata war. Elements of this vision are traceable to very ancient Indian concepts of integration and disintegration such as Prajapati and Purusa. The word\u00a0Vi\u015bvar\u016bpa\u00a0consists of two components, visva-and-rupa. Visva means “the universe” and rupa means “form, the shape of anything”.\u00a0Vi\u015bvar\u016bpa\u00a0as a concept means “all forms”, “universal form”. “He Who Has The Form of the Universe”. These meanings ofVi\u015bvar\u016bpa\u00a0exist in the\u00a0Rgveda<\/em>\u00a0and other literature of later periods. This project is aimed at offering an interactive content exploration system to support the study of Indian art by offering a database of selected images of\u00a0Vi\u015bvar\u016bpa\u00a0Krishna.<\/p>\n
