| Description / विवरण | A miniature shrine surmounted by a square sikhara with a drooping eave Chajja on all the four sides. At the bottom is a square temple model containing a niche koshta on the front flanked by short pillarets, kapota, pattika, patta, dwarf pillars and a sloppy sala shaped sikhara. The niche at the bottom contains two standing images of siva and vishnu represented as siva-kesava. The first figure i.e. siva stands erect in samabhanga attitude with four hands. The head is decorated with jata makuta with crescentic Moon on the front. The neck is adorned with a tight kanta mala on the chest and yajnopavita in thin strands across the left shoulder. The two rear hands hold rosary and noose while the front right hand holds a trident and the front left hand is in Katyavalambita posture i.e. the hand resting on the hip. The drapery contains ardhoruka with a girdle. The image is tall and slim in proportion. To the right is Vishnu standing samabhanga aspect. His head is decorated with kirita makuta. Like Siva, Vishnu also is four handed. The two rear hands hold sankha and chakra, where as the front right hand holds the mace and the front left is in katyavalambita mudra. This figure also is tall and slim. Seems to belong to the Early Chalukya Style. |
