122. View of the Shikhara of the Sarvatobhadra

Beschreibung:: A closer view of the shikhara (superstructure) of the sarvatobhadra (open from all sides) reveals it's stylized like a phamsana (pyramidal) shikhara. It consists of three mouldings that decrease in size, with a gavaksha (false window) on the frontal side of these mouldings. The mouldings are capped by a disc at the centre. The shikhara gives the sarvatobhadra the appearance of a miniature shrine.

123. Faint traces of a human figure visible on the stone fragment

Beschreibung:: Seen here what appears to be a sculptural fragment among the row of hero stones. This speculation is drawn from faint traces of a human figure visible on the stone fragment. Given that the collection includes not only hero stones but also other pieces, it is plausible that a broken sculpture is venerated as a hero stone. Unlike other Hero stones, this fragment has a low pedestal.

124. Broken piece of a hero stone

Beschreibung:: Seen here is a broken piece of a hero stone, once part of the temple’s architectural structure. Despite its fragmented state, it is now worshipped among the veeron ke pathar (stones of the heroic people). In its current aniconic form, this fragment receives the same reverence and rituals as the other fragments kept alongside.

126. Three hero stones in the premises of the Suswani Mata Temple Complex

Beschreibung:: Typically, the front side of the Hero stones depicts a hero riding on horseback, accompanied by a female figure standing in front of him with her hands folded in namaskar mudra (salutation gesture). The size of this depiction might vary on each stone, but they maintain stylistic similarity. Sometimes, these figures include inscriptions that provide details such as the person honoured by the hero stones and crucially, the date of its creation. The dates from legible inscriptions on the Hero stones are from 1500 VS onwards, placing them in the 15th-16th centuries CE.

127. Hero stone depicting the hero wearing a distinctive headgear riding on a horse

Beschreibung:: Seen here is an example of a hero stone without an inscription, showcasing a slightly different style. The niche inside which the hero is depicted is a low relief niche with an arch design. The drapery of the hero and the celestial damsel accompanying him is uniquely rendered. The hero is depicted wearing a distinctive headgear resembling those worn in the Rajasthan region. In the corner of the niche, there is a sun motif, possibly symbolizing that the hero’s valour will endure eternally.

128. Hero mounted on a horse accompanied by a celestial damsel

Beschreibung:: A hero stones fragment measures about a foot in height and half a foot in width, featuring a slightly different depiction than the other hero stones. In this fragment, the hero is portrayed mounted on horse, accompanied not by a celestial damsel but by another human figure kneeling down. This second figure could also be a depiction of the hero. The scene symbolizes the hero’s journey to heaven after his death, where he bows down to God, often represented by depicted Shiva in his linga (aninconic representation of Shiva) form. The undulating stone surface of the hero stones makes it difficult to understand whether it originally contained any inscriptions.

129. Hero Stone depicting the hero and his journey to the heavenly abode

Beschreibung:: Seen here is a small size hero stone, similar in dimensions to the adjacent hero stones. It is a rectangular stone slab without a triangular finial. The panel depicting the hero and his journey to the heavenly abode differs slightly from others. Here, there is no figure mounted on a horseback; instead, there is a supine human figure next to another figure standing with folded hands. The depiction likely indicates the hero’s death and his attainment of moksha (freedom from the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth). This unique portrayal is not found on any other hero stones fragment in the Suswani Mata Temple.

130. Hero stone with the hero mounted on a horse

Beschreibung:: Another small stone fragment, likely originally part of a larger hero stones, is now housed in the premises of the Suswani Mata Temple. This fragment is noticeably less ornate compared to the larger stone slabs. It depicts only two figures, one is the hero mounted on a horse, and the other is a figure standing with folded hands. The human figures are carved within rectangular niches on the fragment. There are no remaining traces of writing left on the lower side of this hero stones fragment.
