Relief of an Episode of Kiratarjuniya from the Mahabharata
The image depicts a stone relief panel with a scene from the Kiratarjuniya, a part of the Mahabharata. The panel shows a man in the center with a bow and arrow, wearing a dhoti and holding his bow in his left hand while pulling the string with his right. He is flanked by two large lotus flowers, one on each side. On the left side of the panel, a man crouches next to a pedestal with an object on top. On the right side, a deer stands next to another pedestal. The panel is rectangular and made of stone, with a weathered appearance and visible signs of aging. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to white at the bottom.
