Summary

Description
English: Decapitation scene. Pallava, late 7th century AD


Varaha Cave Temple, Mamallapuram

From the same cave temple as Varaha on the previous page, comes this scene in which a devotee of Durga offers up his head to the bloodthirsty goddess (compare the very similar scene from Draupadi Ratha at the Pancha Rathras). A greater contrast in mood and style between this and the Varaha sculpture could scarcely be imagined.
