Description / विवरण	The Godâ€™s lower right arm is in abhaya mudra, the upper one is damaged. The upper left hand holds a three-headed snake and the lower one encircles the waist of Uma who embraces him across the shoulders with the right arm. Siva is seated on a stool, with the Goddess on the left lap, their legs resting on small lotus flowers. On the pedestal below are the bull, the lion and the ascetic Bhrngi. On either side are standing female attendants, one holding a round casket, the other a mirror. At the latterâ€™s feet is a kneeling devotee. Behind the God are square pilasters topped by standing images of Brahma and Visnu on the left and right sides respectively. The side offsets contain the usual decorative motifs of vyalas on elephants and makaras holding flowers in their snouts. Above the pierced stellate halo are five Lingas on a pedestal flanked by flying Vidyadharas holding garlands.
