Manmatha rides on a chariot drawn by a red parrot
Manmatha rides on a chariot drawn by a red parrot. On his forehead is a Vaishnava namam. He is dressed in courtly attire: an ample jacket is loosely tied at his waist with a cummerbund or sash and a shawl is draped over his shoulders and trousers. A makara-shaped quiver hangs from his shoulder, and in his left hand he carries the ikshukodanda (sugarcane bow), whose string is formed by bees rather than (as the inscription suggests) by flowers. In his right hand he holds three flowery arrows.
