Similar goddesses are found in many places, and are specially characteristic of the Gupta style. Often the Jumna on one side is personified by the female standing on a tortoise, while the corresponding figure, representing the Ganges, stands on a *makara*; but at Udayagiri both the figures alike are on *makaras*. In the earlier examples the goddesses are placed at the top and in the later at the bottom of the jambs.
