The bhadraratha (central projection) features a seated Vishnu, intricately carved with four arms. Crowned, Vishnu holds a gada (mace) and a chakra (discus) in his upper hands. His lower right-hand holds an akshamala (rosary) while also making a varada hasta (boon-giving gesture). Although his lower left hand is broken, Vishnu is adorned with large circular earrings, a broad beaded necklace, a breast band, a girdle, bangles, and anklets.
