This unique representation of four armed Siva as Vamana seated in ardhaparyankasana on a cushioned seat against a large bolster is carved beautifully. He is holding flowers, a rosary and the stalk of a lotus in his three hands and the fourth is placed on the knee in a natural posture. Besides the jewelled ornaments, he is adorned with sarpa nupura also. His jata mukuta set on right side varies with the usual form of his jata mukuta. He is shown with bulging belly, thick limbs, big nose, thick lips and a short statured body. His facial expression indicates his jovial mood. however, Siva has not been represented with such features.
