Depcition of Brahma on the Bhadra of the Garbhagriha
Description:
The bhadra (central offset) on the rear wall of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) is installed with the figure of Brahma. Despite significant damage, the deity is depicted seated on a pedestal, with three faces and four arms. While his upper arms are broken, he holds a kamandalu (water pot) in his lower left hand and makes a varada hasta (boon-giving gesture) with his lower right hand. He is adorned with a jatamukuta (crown of matted hair), a moustache, and a beard.
