dc.descriptionVisnu and Lakshmi with Garuda, the mythical bird, the vehicle of Visnu, at their feet. The pyramidal decoration which surmounts the group encloses a seated Siva, and has makaras at its base. The dragon head which corwns the whole, as well as that which decorates the kudu towards the bottom, is typically Dravidian. The decorative style, complicated and very ornate, tends towards an Indian "rococo" which we shall see appear and develop in the later temples of the same style.
