Wooden chariot
Dating from the late-Vijayanagara period, this ratha was brought from the Madanagopala Temple in Mahboobnagar. Its lowest projecting eave has ornate brackets composed of rearing horses with diminutive riders and attendants. Smiling monkeys peer out above a parapet bordered with a row inverted lotuses. |
