  • 41. Male figure depicted firing an arrow from a bow

    Beschreibung:
    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. 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 raised circular seat in the 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. Mangoes are symbols of kama or sexual desire. Therefore, it could possibly 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.

    Beschreibung:
    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. 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, and the male is seated in the 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 (top right) is whispering in the ear of the central female. Mangoes are hanging from the tree branches.

  • 44. Different coloured stones assembled to form the jagati (raised platform)

    Beschreibung:
    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). Different coloured stones are assembled here, some in pink sandstone and the rest in grey sandstone. However, it is not known where they were located in the original temple or if they came from multiple structures. The pink sandstone has floral designs with Stupa (dome-shaped memorials, made on the holy relics of the Buddha) motifs. The grey sandstone has the padma (lotus), the purna ghata (overflowing pot of prosperity) and the kalpa lata (creeper) motifs. The God of fire, Agni, is visible in the background (top), placed in the southeast corner of the garbhagriha as a dikpala (guardian of directions) of the southeast direction.

  • 46. The jagati with two projected niches on the south and north sides

    Beschreibung:
    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 or if they came from multiple structures. Instead of the traditional shikhara, the temple was reconstructed with domes by the Archaeology Department of the erstwhile Jaipur State in the 1940s. The jagati has two projected niches on the south and north sides and a single projected niche on the west side. The dome pedestal and the domes on top of the mandapa (pillared hall) and the garbhagriha (sanctum) are made of concrete instead of stone, which is used in the rest of the temple structure. The open space surrounding the jagati is the pradakshina path (circumambulation path) on the adhisthana.
