  • 11. Depiction of Lord Indra

    Beschreibung:
    The adhisthana has depictions of various Hindu gods and goddesses framed within elaborately carved panels. This panel may be a depiction of Lord Indra who is king of the devas (celestial beings) and ruler of swarga (heavenly realm). Indra is also the dikpala (guardian of directions) of the east, hence he is placed facing the east direction. The central figure is a crowned male standing in samapada mudra (feet equally balanced) and carrying a vajra (thunderbolt). An elephant is standing behind (its head visible on the left) which could be the white elephant Airavata, the mount of Lord Indra. Based on the vajra and the elephant, the figure could be identified with Lord Indra, who is king of the devas and ruler of swarga.

  • 13. Pradyumna

    Beschreibung:
    The adhisthana has depictions of various Hindu gods and goddesses framed within elaborately carved panels. This panel depicts Varuna, a Vedic deity. Varuna is the God of oceans and also a dikpala (guardian of directions). He is the guardian of the west, hence his image is placed on the west face of the adhisthana. Varuna is seated in a lalitasana posture on its mount, the mythical sea creature called makara. In his left hand, Varuna is holding the Gandiva, a divine bow which was gifted by Varuna to Arjuna in the Mahabharata. He is surrounded by four female attendants. Two attendants in the foreground are seated on circular seats and two in the background are standing. The seated lady on the left is holding an arrow. The seated lady on the right has long braided hair. The faces, feet, and hands of the figures are broken and their attributes are not clear.

  • 15. Kamdeva on mancha

    Beschreibung:
    Couples invoking shringara rasa (associated with romance, love, and attractiveness between lovers) are framed in panels with pillars and tiered shikhara with gavashka (horseshoe) motifs. The central figures are wearing heavy jewellery, elaborate headgear, and garments, indicating they are a royal couple. The central male figure is seated on a circular raised seat in a lalitasana pose, firing an arrow from a bow. Standing on his left are two female figures (faces defaced), looking towards him. The female on his immediate left is holding a flower in her right hand. The female to his far left is holding a floral scroll. The female figure on his right is damaged. A bunch of mangoes hang above them. As mangoes are symbols of kama or sexual desire, this may be a depiction of Kamadeva (Hindu God of erotic love, pleasure, and desire) and the females may be apsaras (celestial nymphs) or his consort, Goddess Rati.

  • 17. Mithuna sculptures on mancha

    Beschreibung:

The face of the female figure is missing and the face of the male figure is defaced. They are wearing heavy jewellery, elaborate headgear, and garments, indicating they are a royal couple. The central male figure and female figures are enjoying a musical concert in a grove. They are seated on circular raised seats; the male is in a lalitasana pose. The female figure is leaning towards the male and playing a stringed musical instrument (likely a veena). They are surrounded by four smaller figures. A male soldier is holding a sword and shield (on the left). One musician is playing the flute (bottom), sitting between the seats. A small female attendant is (top right) whispering in the ear of the central female. Mangoes hang from the tree branches.

  • 18. Mithuna sculptures on mancha

    Beschreibung:
    Couples invoking shringara rasa (associated with romance, love, and attractiveness between lovers) are framed in panels with pillars and tiered shikhara with gavashka (horseshoe) motifs. Unlike in other parts of the temple, the faces of the couples are not damaged and they are wearing heavy jewellery, elaborate headgear, and garments, indicating they belong to royalty. The central male figure is seated in a lalitasana pose on a raised seat. The central female figure is seated on his left thigh, looking towards the man with her head turned. The man is admiring the beauty of the woman, placing his left hand on her coiffure and inspecting her face with his left hand (missing). Chauri dharini (fly whisk bearers) stand on either side of the couple, looking towards them. A small female figure features at the right bottom, likely an attendant or servant.

The central figures are wearing heavy jewellery, elaborate headgear, and garments, indicating they are a royal couple.

The female figure is also in a lalitasana pose and her right foot is resting on a footrest. Her body is slightly raised towards her left compared to the man. Hence, she is looking down towards the man. Positioned below her left leg is the figure of a male attendant. The central male figure is forcefully pulling a female attendant (holding a hand fan), towards him with his right hand. Behind the fan-holding female is a figure (face missing) wielding a sword.
