Rama or Ramachandra, the seventh incarnation of Vishnu, is shown with two hands, his left hand resting on an ornate bow and the left is posed to hold a (missing) arrow. A makara-topped quiver hangs behind his right shoulder. The bow is usually missing but in this case it was cast in one piece with the figure; it has makara bottom or stand. A small, moulded, triangular srivatsa marks Rama's right chest. He stands on a flaring lotus pedestal (pitha). The broad flat bottom of its base may have slotted into a larger shrine.
