Subject: Hanuman carrying Sanjeevani Mountain. This figure alludes to the legend when Jambavan, the leader of the bears, asked Hanuman to retrieve Sanjeevani herb from the mount Dronagiri (Mahodaya) in the Himalayas, required to revive Lakshman and other members of the monkey-army. However, Hanuman could not identify the plant so he picked up the entire mountain of herbs and brought it to the battlefield.
