About this work

A golden serpent with multiple hooded heads coils around a tiered, stupa-like pedestal rising from a still lake, framed by lavender and violet mountains. A red-robed figure sits at the lower right edge gazing toward the scene under a soft pink sky. Nicholas Roerich created this work in 1925, and it is held in the Wikimedia Commons collection.
