Four-armed Vāyu rides on a gazelle


The four-armed Varuna rides on a fierce looking, elegantly bejeweled and caparisoned makara (mythical creature). In his upper hands he carries a parashu (axe), instead of the typical pasha (noose). His lower right hand is in abhaya mudra and his lower left rests on his thigh.
