Lajja Gauri: This image of Lajja Gauri from a Chalukya-period Shiva temple is lotus headed with a human female body. The body is carved of a piece with the altar upon which it lies supine and there is an ablution drain/nala by the left knee. The lotus head has large petals. She holds a lotus bud in each hand and seems to proffer them onto her lotus head. The legs are in uttanapad (birth giving) pose.
