v2.c12.52
The large female figures in the middle of the Śākhās are badly damaged but their extremely bent postures show them at one with the billowing of their own waves: nothing else particularises them as river goddesses; the scroll canopies full of Devatās seated on lotus flowers are vestigial trees; under their branches, the companions of the goddesses are carved against the different Śākhās and the images of Nāgas lean on the outer frame of the doorway. The Dvārapālas are assigned to the pilasters flanking the doorway (cf. also Lakṣmaṇa Temple).
