| Description / विवरण | |
| Description / विवरण | The figure is damaged, the head, arms, lower legs and the feet being lost. Traces of the left hand, resting at the hip, are present. The figure is frontally conceived, and must have stood erect with the weight equally distributed on both feet. The shoulders are broad; and the torso, except for a slight protuberance at the belly, is flat. The workmanship is very similar to Bharhut, particularly in the stiff line and cubical form. Even though the image is technically carved in the round it is essentially a bilateral relief, more so than any of the other free standing Yaksas of this period. |
