Simhanada Lokeshvara, a form of Avalokiteshvara, is identified by the presence of a crouching lion as the bodhisattva’s mount. This intricate sculpture, executed in Chunar sandstone, derives from the Gupta period’s aesthetic spirit, but the crowded compositions suggest infusion of Pratihara elements.
