Sleeping Narayana from Budha Nilakantha, Nepal, circa 8th century. stone more than life size.

Lord Vishnu reclining on the coils of a cosmic serpent on the infinite ocean from which the world emerges. The Lord is shown lying down on a thousand-headed snake named Shesha or Ananta Nag - Timeless or Ageless snake.

“This primal insight into the dreamlike nature of the world of appearances has an oddly contemporary resonance given the direction of modern scientific thought. Long before post-Newtonian physics “discovered” that matter is essentially energy in drag – E =MC2 – the sages had already intuited that the physical universe is an emanation of the omnipotent Force, which they call Shakti.

By some measures, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism"]Hinduism[/url] is practised by a larger majority of people in Nepal than in any other nation.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepal#cite_note-7"][8][/url][/sup] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism"]Buddhism[/url], though a minority faith in the country, is linked historically with Nepal. Many Nepali do not distinguish between Hinduism and Buddhism and follow both religious traditions. There are three different buddhist traditions: Himalayan Buddhism, Buddhism of Kathmandu Valley (mostly [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahayana"]Mahayana[/url]and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajrayana"]Vajrayana[/url]), and also the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theravada"]Theravada[/url] Buddhism.
