It is the chase before the battle.
In the sculpture it is Satyabhama along with Krishna and along with Indra is Indrani who was the owner of Parijaat tree. Krishna's wife Satyabhama wished for the
Parijaat flower.

By @twobirdsbreakingfree Here the language of stone surpasses the language of human" ☀️ I am talking about the magnificent & mystical Konark Sun temple of the the 13th century built by the Ganga King Narasimha Deva.
One of the grandest temple in India, the Sun temple is also known as black Pagoda, as the building material is black granite.
I was delighted to walk in the temple premises & wonder at it's sheer beauty ~ an ancient Indian architectural gem ! Rabindranath Tagore had referred to the temple as 'Poetry in Stone'. The temple was erected just on the seashore as a gigantic chariot of Surya, the sun god, with elaborately carved statues of elephants, lions, and giants chariot wheels. The temple is widely known not only for its architectural grandeur but also for the intricacy and profusion of sculptural work and it was excavated from beneath the sands in the late 19th century. The sea receded and the temple now lies 3 km away from the shore. #letsgosomewhere#aroundtheworld#mytinyatlas#travelasia#finditliveit#neverstopexploring#makemoments#wanderlust#brokeroadtrip#myvacationhistory#worldtravelbook#Konarksuntemple#Orissa#India#incredibleindia#temple#hinduism#templeart#sculpures#templecarvings #wow .

This life-size sculpture of Karttikeya is carved on the backside of Parshurameshwar temple buit in circa 8th century CE in Bhubaneshwar, Odisha.
Karttikeya (son of Kruttikas) is a prominent deity in Hinduism. According to mythology, he is the son of Agni and was later raised by Shiva and Parvati.
He is also called Shanmukh (of six faces), Sharajanma (born of grass).
His other names are Mahasen, Skanda, Kumar and Vishakh. These names also appear on coins of Kushan rulers. Initially his mount was rooster and later it changed to peacock.

In this image he is seen sitting on a peacock holding beejghata (symbol of proseprity).
His Trikhandi hairstyle is an icnographic feature to identify Karttikeya (trikhandi - hair parted in 3 piecs).
He is also holding a staff.
Above the sculpture, there is a panel depicting the worshiping of Shiva.

The Laxminarayan Temple is located in the Kangra Fort in Himachal Pradesh.
It is common practice to build a small shrine dedicated to a local deity in a fort. However, this temple with it's meticulously carved walls and beautiful sculptures, is clearly on the extravagant side.
