Sukabhashini (Lady with a Pet Parrot)-Belur Chenna Keshava Temple-Karnataka

This figure is of lady in conversation with her pet parrot, sitting on her fingers. It seems as if she is using the bird to convey message to her beloved. The introduction of a parrot over here is interesting, as birds Suka (Parrot) and Sarika (Turdus Salica or Maina) are lyrically used to portray love of the couple.
