In this architectural detail the Gaṇa is an embodiment of the progression of the wall from within the temple and of its vertical discipline as well. The horizontal moulding formed by his chest and arms and the horizontal of his hands whose touch is quick with life are part of this caryatid-hieroglyph embodiment of the function of the wall of the temple. It is given shape in the broad idiom of sculpture of the Cedi school.
