Mahishasuramardhini

Bas-relief carving at a cave in Mamallapuram depicting the scene of battle between Goddess Durga and the buffalo headed demon Mahishasura. The whole story here.

 

Of all carvings and sculptures in Mamallapuram, this one is my favourite. So lively! Photographs don't do it justice, you have to go there and see it with your own eyes. :-)
