| Brief Description | The fragment of temple wall depicts the figure of Four-armed Siva seated in 'Ardhaparyankasana', a yoga pose. His lower right hand is in 'Varadamudra', a gesture often associated with granting blessings, while his other hands hold a trident, a lotus bud, and a pot. The nose of the figure is damaged, which may have been caused by wear or destruction over time. |
