v2.c12.311
Emerging from between capital and bracket (cf. Pl. LIII), the general attitude of these Gaṇas is a diving into space. Pl. LXVI shows the four-armed image in the process of emerging from the pillar and part of its architectural theme. Many of these figures—not shown in these plates—have the face of an animal (for example in the Duladeo temple in Khajuraho). This belongs to the Gaṇas, in Indian iconography.
