Summary
| Description |
English: Photograph of the Hindu goddess Ganga, right, the deified Ganges River, in terracotta on a door pillar from U.P., India, Pratihara, 10th century CE. Following iconographic prescription, Ganga stands on her mount, the Makara, a stylized mythological crocodile-like aquatic monster (which unfortunately has been damaged in this piece) and (likely) holds a kumbha, a full pot of water, in her hand (which too has been damaged), while an attendant holds a parasol over her. She leans in the tribhanga pose on a dwarf attendent, while a male guard (or consort?) stands nearby. The dimensions of the art-work are: height: 63 cm (25 in), width: 39 cm (15 in), depth: 26 cm (10 in).
