When single, Jambhala is of golden complexion and carries the mongoose in the left hand and the citron in the right. The illustration (Fig. 176) shows a stone image from Nepal which was in the possession of the late Pandit Siddhiharsa. Here the god is represented as sitting in the Lalita attitude. Two other specimens (Figs. 177 and 178) from Vikrampur¹, in Eastern Bengal, depict the god in the same attitude, and they are some of the finest products of the Bengal art of medieval times.
