Vamana Temple

• Northernmost is the late-11th-century Vamana Temple, dedicated to Vishnu’s dwarf incarnation (though the image in the sanctum looks more like a tall, sly child). 
• The sanctum walls show unusual theological openness, featuring most of the major gods and goddesses; Vishnu appears in many of his form, including the Buddha, his ninth incarnation. 
• Outside, two tiers of sculpture are concerned mainly with the nymphs of paradise, who strike charming poses under O their private awnings.
