Shiva, with four arms, carries in his upper right hand the pasha (noose) and in his upper left the mriga (gazelle), his lower right hand is in abhaya and his lower left in varada mudra. The dark-complexioned Trishiras stands opposite his lord, his hands in anjali mudra. He has three heads and a sword rests in the crook of his left arm and shoulder, and a buckler hangs from his waist. Flames emanate from his crowns and vibhuti (cow dung ash) is on his forehead, and he has protruding fangs.
