Narasimha, Man-Lion Incarnation of Vishnu, Red Sandstone Relief
A red sandstone relief shows a seated, multi-armed figure with a leonine head at the center, its body carved in low relief against a rough-edged slab. Smaller figures and carved attendants flank the central form, with arms raised and bent around it. The surface is weathered, and the stone base is set on a dark plinth.
