Vrishabha

Satna (Madhya Pradesh), Chandella dynasty, 10th century
Indian Museum, Calcutta

The word "vrishabha" means "bull," in this case the female counterpart of Nandi, as would be found in a Yogini Temple. In this relief, Vrishabha sits in Royal Ease, her lion vehicle beneath her feet. Her left arm cradles Ganesh. A Ganeshvari appears in the lower right corner, and possibly in the lower left corner (damaged) as well.

Satna is located about 75 mi (125 km) east of Khajuraho.
