Depiction of Vyala images at the entrance of the Garbhagriha
Description:
The details of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) are seen here at the bottom of the entrance of the Vishnu Temple. Flanking the chandrashila (moonstone) at the garbhagriha entrance is a band that shows vyalas (composite mythical creatures) pouncing upon and biting elephants from behind and tearing them apart with their claws.
