This sandstone relief carved with great detail, shows Shiva in a fierce yet calm form. It captures the mythical story of Gajasura Vadh - when Shiva killed the elephant demon. The sculpture presents Shiva in action, his pose both dynamic and steady, as he overcomes the demon who had changed into a huge elephant. As visible in this statue, the elephant's hide hasn’t been discarded but it stretches across Shiva's back and curves over his head - becoming a symbol of victory and a artistic framing the central deity.​
