Siva-Parvati

This wide pier showing the scene of Siva-Parvati's marriage, is one of the most elegantly sculpted pieces in the temple. Siva in Kalyanasundara-murti, holds Parvati's hand. On the left is Himavat, blessing the couple. The figures are covered by an arched canopy formed by a torana emanating from a kirti-mukha.
