Revanta

Description

According to the Rigveda, Revanta is the youngest son of the Sun god Surya, and his wife Saranyu. Revanta is chief of the Guhyakas, semi-divine entities. Images and sculptures of Revanta often show him as huntsman on a horse (he is often called as Haya-Vahana, one who rides a horse), with a bow and arrow. Revanta carries sword as weapon and his consort is Aranyani. Although this sculpture is in abraded form but shows features that reveals that this is a depiction of Revanta. One of his attendants is depicted holding an umbrella (symbol of royalty) over the head of his lord.
