The Varaha statue is incredible. How tall is it- 8 feet? You may already know that the incarnations of Vishnu are a recurring theme in Gupta period architecture - and many examples are found in the UP-MP region called Bundelkhand. Check out Deogarh.
Thanks Arjun.. The sculpture is in bas-relief and it is more than 8 feet - it must be at least 12 feet at least. Thanks for the information.
