Makara-Vahana Ganga: Guardian Of The Waters

"This contemporary sculpt portrays Goddess Ganga poised side-saddle on her surging makara vahana, set on a rock-and-wave base. Four-armed, she lifts a lotus and kamandalu, while the lower hands show abhaya and varada—signs of protection and boon.
The makara here is the legendary composite sea creature of Hindu myth—typically combining elephant, crocodile, and fish features—long a herald of river and ocean deities."
