An architectural member depicting Arjuna on a chariot driven by Krishna. This is a scene from the Bhagavad Gita. Arjuna is seen charging dhanush (bow) held by his lower right and left hands. A quiver with bana (bow) rests on his left shoulder. Both Arjuna and Krishna are seen wearing kiritamukuta (conical crown). Two individuals are seen behind Arjuna. The man on the left corner has his right hand raised in the action of throwing what seems to be a spear. The panel has the totemic symbol of the Pandavas, i.e, flying Hanuman, which is seen on the top right corner. The horses are animated and shown with their front legs raised. There are four holes seen adjacently placed to each other on the upper portions of the panel.
