FIGURE 12.1. Panel SP1: Hari flanked by Rudra and Daksha (prior to repair). IFDI.

Daksha, with only one pair of arms and dressed as a householder, stands on a lower level to Hari’s right, is turned slightly southward toward him, and forms the anjalimudra at his lower chest. His head reveals his identity as Daksha: Close inspection reveals that his “crown” is the horns of a goat, and that his right ear hangs down like a goat’s ear. Rudra with one pair of arms stands to the left of Hari on the same level as Daksha. The badly damaged figure appears to be dressed as an ascetic with a sacred thread hanging from his right shoulder and passing under his left arm. His identity as Rudra is evident from the matted hair, which stands out at the sides of his head.
