  • 31. Image of couples invoking shringara rasa

    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 toward 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.

  • 33. Gods and goddesses framed within elaborately carved panels

    Beschreibung:
    The adhisthana has depictions of various Hindu gods and goddesses framed within elaborately carved panels. This panel has a central male figure holding a hala (plough) and large hooded nagas (serpents). The panel has a central male figure seated in the lalitasana posture on a circular throne. The figure has four arms and is holding a hala (plough) in his upper left hand. Hala is associated with Samkarshana, more popularly known as Balarama, the brother of Sri Krishna. Balarama is considered an avatar of Sesha, the coiled serpent mount on which Lord Vishnu lies. This might explain the presence of hooded nagas appearing over the attendants. Balarama’s lower left-hand rests on the waist of a female figure, likely his consort Revati. Two female figures are flanking the couple, likely attendants. The female figure on the left has a watering pot in her hand. The faces, feet, and hands of the figures are broken and their attributes are not clear.

  • 34. Panel depicting Pradyumna image

    Beschreibung:
    The adhisthana has depictions of various Hindu gods and goddesses framed within elaborately carved panels. This panel depicts Pradyumna. While Meister identifies the sculpture as Varuna, the God of oceans and the dikpala of the west direction, Packert-Atherton identifies him as Pradyumna, one of the Vrishni cult deities of the Pancharatra sect. Pradyumna is seated in the lalitasana posture on his mount, the mythical sea creature called makara. He holds a bow in his left hand and 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.

  • 36. Couple seated with a musical instrument held by the female figure

    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. A central male figure is seated in the lalitasana pose on a raised seat, looking towards the central female figure seated on his left thigh, who is playing a stringed musical instrument. The female figure is also in the 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. Below her left leg is a 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.
