1321. Figure of a couple invoking shringara rasa

Description:: Couples invoking shringara rasa (associated with romance, love, and attractiveness between lovers) are framed in panels with pillars and tiered shikhara with gavaksha (horseshoe) motifs. Unlike in other parts of the temple, the faces are not damaged and they wear heavy jewellery, elaborate headgear, and garments, indicating they belong to royalty or a high social class. The central male figure is seated in the lalitasana pose on a raised circular seat. The central female figure is seated on his left thigh, looking towards the man. Both rest their right feet on blooming lotus flowers. The man is embracing the woman, placing his left hand over her left shoulder. The woman reciprocates his gesture by placing her right hand over his right shoulder. The man is caressing the woman’s right breast with his right hand. Chauri dharini (fly whisk bearers) flank the couple.

1322. Debris from the original temple assembled in parts to form the jagati

Description:: Debris from the original temple was salvaged when the current temple was reconstructed in the 1940s. These have been assembled in parts to form the jagati (raised platform). However, it is not known where they were located in the original temple. The base has an ardha padma (half lotus) surrounded by geometric patterns. The panel in the middle has an ornate bird, probably a mayura (peacock), bordered by a creeping vine motif. The next two levels are mouldings depicting floral and vine patterns.

1324. Sukanasa or Sukanasi (a part of the shikhara)

Description:: Debris from the original temple was salvaged when the current temple was reconstructed in the 1940s. These are assembled to form the jagati (raised platform), hence they are not in their original position. This fragment, for example, known as sukanasa (or sukanasi), was part of the shikhara, located above the entrance to the garbhagriha or inner shrine. The sukanasa (or sukanasi) is usually featured above the entrance to the garbhagriha or inner shrine and often contains the figure of the presiding deity to which the temple is dedicated (missing in this sukanasa). The corners of the arch have inverted conch motifs. The top of the arch has an elaborate kalapavriksha (tree of life) motif.
