This early Chalukyan sculpture shows Parvati, the consort of Shiva and mother of Ganesha. Parvati is an aspect of Shakti, the divine female force. In the present lot, she is flanked by attendants on either side, who hold fly whisks, in reverence of their mistress. On the stele above the fly whisks is a shivalinga on the left, and Ganesha on the right. Parvati's right hand is in varadamudra, which is a gesture that indicates the act of giving boons. A small lizard is seen near Parvati's feet.
