Shankaranarayana or Hari-Hara, Shiva and Vishnu joined into one. The deity stands in samabhanga on a low stepped dais. The figure’s right side depicts Vishnu: blue-complexioned, he wears a crown, has a Vaishnava namam (emblem) on his forehead and is dressed in a long, intricately patterned dhoti. In his upper right hand is the chakra (discus), and the lower right is in abhaya mudra. The left side of the figure is Shiva, white-complexioned and with his hair gathered in a jata makuta (crown of matted hair), at the side of which is the crescent moon, with a tripundra (three horizontal lines) on his forehead. He wears a tiger skin wound around his loins and in his upper left hand he carries the mriga (gazelle), while his lower left is in varada mudra.
