The Colas c36.33

c36.33

Fig. 25. Another woman, in another niche, in the same temple. Similar to above with minor differences in regard to ornamentation, hand poses and stance only. She also wears *dhammilla* head-dress with usual flowers, gem-set *kuṇḍalas*, jewelled necklaces and armlets and close-fitting lower garment with beautifully folded ends. They reveal the high degree of careful finish of details coupled with classical restraint. The *bhaṅga* and the more than three-quarter profile endow the figure with a rare charm.
