This impressive female torso can be identified as Durga Mahishasuramardini. Her (missing) right leg is crushing Mahisha, the buffalo-demon, whilst she slays it with the trident on the (missing) right hand. The sculpture shows a strong, powerful movement. Even if fragmented, the figure gives the idea of the goddess� supernatural power. Grain of stone, quality of carving and style of jewels are typical of the Chandella dynasty sculptures.
