Summary edit
| Description |
English: Cave 8, East Jamb. Phase II, after 465 AD. Yungang Grottoes, Datong
The paired deva here is undoubtedly a form of Shiva, with the crescent moon in his crown and riding on his bull mount Nandi. Unusual aspects of this iconography include his upright hands holding the sun and moon, and his central hand that holds a bunch of grapes. These paired devas appear across and above several other doorways of Yungang. |
