Sculpture Panels

Wall Shrine

This, the lowest of the tiered wall shrines on the west, has three sculpted base panels. At the bottom, below a deep moulding, is a krittimukha-rudraksha pattern. Above this is a row of wrestling elephants and a diety, portion of the continuous elephant procession of the sanctuary walls. Next is a row of alternating hamsa and yali between miniature pilasters.
