Lord Vishnu, presiding deity at Kerala's Padmanabhaswami temple is made of 12,000 'salagramams' or sacred stones.The stones, brought from Gandaki river in Nepal, are bound together by a mixture of herbs and resins, a sticking subtance.
A book on the Travancore royal family which maintains the temple reveals that the 18-foot Vishnu idol bears the images of a whopping 33 crore celestials in conceptualised form, besides those of goddess Lakshmi and Bhoomi Devi as well as sages.
Thank you for good information.
