Fig. 30. Two devotees, in the Śiva temple. Tiruvāḍutuṟai, Tanjore District. The figure on the left is in *añjali* pose. A bag is hanging from his left arm. Wears a very simple loin cloth. The other devotee on the right holds his hands in *añjali* above his head. Wears a rosary of beads around his neck. His bag is kept on a stand behind him. These figures, in bas-relief, are beautifully done. They display, by the expression on their faces a calmness and devotion that distinguish men of this class. (See p. 725). The Tamil characters are of the early Cōḷa times.
