v2.c12.304
Jutting out from the lateral vault of the roof of the Maṇḍapa is a corbel made of a four-armed, squat Gaṇa figure. It is part and support of a strut in the shape of a dancing Apsarā and her diminutive companion of ravishing elegance, postured below her raised leg. The figure follows the architectural movement; it fits into the ribbed vault and has its highest projections where the joists pass behind its pliant shape.
