Bracket Figures These polished black granite figures are considered masterpieces of Kakatiya art. Pairs of figures on each side of the mandapa porch entrances are madanika figures while the rest of the figures are of rearing yalis standing over elephants. All the twenty-four madanika images have intricate details of clothes, jewelry, and facial expression. The best preserved madanika images are on the north wall.
