Description / विवरण
Description / विवरण	It is a four-armed Mahishmardini. The hair seems to be tied behind her back. She is wearing kundalas in her ears. The facial features are apparent. Her upper right hand is holding a trishul and her lower right hand is folded upwards from her elbow. The attribute is damaged. Her lower left hand is upon the mouth of the bull and the upper left hand is broken. On her neck, she is wearing a necklace. A Brahmanical thread (Yagnopavita) is passing between her breasts. She is wearing a single layer of the waistband and a dhoti can be seen flowing below. Her right leg is raised high, probably to put upon the head of the bull, to suppress it. It is broken from the foot. The left leg is behind the head of the bull, and therefore, hidden. It is also broken in the lower part.
