| Description / विवरण | |
| Description / विवरण | This mid-relief sculpture of Vishnu in sampadasthanaka (upright) posture. The pointed stele panel is undecorated. The deity is shown holding sankha (conch), chakra (wheel), Padma (lotus), and gada (mace) in a clockwise direction respectively in his four hands. The chakra and Padma look alike which indicates a lack of sophistication in craftsmanship. Vishnu here is adorned with an ornamented kiratamukuta (conical headgear), a kanthabhusana (necklace), a vanamala (long garland of wildflowers), a upavita (sacred cord), and a decorated girdle around the waist. The drapery of the deity is somewhat visible above the knee. He is accompanied by the goddess Lakshmi holding a chamara (fly-whisk) and Saraswati playing the veena. Vishnu s vahana (mount) Garuda in anthropomorphic form is curved in the pedestal in namaskar mudra. |
