A surasundari is a nymph-like divinity inhabiting the sky. Here she is depicted as a voluptuous, slim-waisted woman standing in the tribhanga - thrice bent - pose. The features of her elaborately coiffeured hairstyle and her ornate and heavy jewellery have been rendered with careful detail. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
