In the centre on the bottom enshrines the deity with sun and moon forming its part, the rays rising from its figure turn into birds in the sky, the animal world, symbolised by a tiger figure, sustains into its being, and from its energy grow trees and generates life around. The deity is the simplified form of the cosmos; and hence, hardly any facial features except eyes – the eternal witness. Musicians – drummers, horn blowers and dancers apart, four abstract forms – men, birds, animals or whoever, are paying it homage.
