  • 924. 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.

  • 926. 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.

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.

  • 928. 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.
