In the context of Hindu iconography, the term "Chaturvimsati Murti" refers to
Answer: D
Chaturvimsati Murti refers to forms of Vishnu identified on the basis of attributes in his four hands.
Chaturvimsati means twenty-four. In Hindu iconography Vishnu has 24 standing forms, such as Keshava, Narayana and Madhava, which look alike and are told apart only by the order in which his four hands hold the conch, discus, mace and lotus.
Scenes of Krishna's lilas, goddesses slaying demons and the Samhara (destructive) forms of Shiva are other iconographic themes, not the 24 murtis of Vishnu.
