Hanuman, Vishnu and Tortoise (Vishnu)

Hanuman, Vishnu and Tortoise (Vishnu)

Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Lord Vishnu presiding over the churning of the ocean.
Halfway through the churning, Mount Madura which was
used as a churning stic, started to sink. Lord Vishnu
assumed the form of his turtoise avatar Koorma, dived
to the bottom and let them use his back as a pivot upon
which the churning stick could turn.

You can also see both the demons and the gods on either
sides, holding on to the serpent Vasuki.
