The mountain is presented by tiering. Each tier has the people and animals who are in a panic. The middle of the carving presents the demon king Ravana with ten heads and twenty arms. He is shaking the mountain which Shiva is sitting on. Shiva uses his toe to press the mountain down and traps Ravana under the mountain for more than 1000 years.
