The entire scan is 180 degrees upside down! Let's double-check: In the 180-degree rotated view: Top: Architrave (beam) runs horizontally across the top. Pillars go down on the left and right. Chains hang down from the ceiling. The swing (dola) hangs from the chains. It has a flat seat with a decorated border, and underneath the seat is a carved pendant apron. At the bottom is the caption: DOLA (SWING) And at the bottom right (or left): K. S. Siddalinga Swamy.
