Description

Alasyakanya, the women in idle mood, is one of the popular themes in Indian temple architecture, probably created to beautify the structure. The figure here is shown standing cross legged depicted in alasya mudra within a pillared niche. She is wearing beautiful beaded armlets, bangles and beaded necklace. The lower garment is nearly diaphanous so that the legs are likewise fully exposed. Her poise gives her a serene and aesthetic appeal.
