Depiction of a seated Vishnu on the rear wall of the Garbhagriha Public Deposited
Seated on a pedestal, Vishnu is depicted on the bhadra (central projection) of the rear wall of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum). He possesses four arms and carries his divine attributes: a gada (mace) and a chakra (discus) in his upper hands, and a shankha (conch shell) in his lower left hand. His lower right hand extends in the varada hasta (boon-giving gesture), bestowing blessings to devotees. Vishnu is adorned with a kiritamukuta (cylindrical crown associated with Vaishnava iconography) upon his head, complemented by large earrings. A broad necklace rests on his chest, while a heavy girdle accentuates his waist. His wrists are adorned with bangles, and his feet with anklets.
