They are joined by Ganesha and Kartika, each of which has been carved with their intact iconographies. From the adorable elephant's head of Ganesha, the fat child in his form and the gigantic laddoo in his hand; to the radiant beauty of Kartika and the sublime proportions of its form. Like their parents, their shringar is impeccable and their position is one of great benevolence and blessing.
They are each found on a lotus pedestal in much smaller layers, which together with the seat of Shiva-Parvati are placed on an elaborate support decorated with engravings of petals. The halo is equal to maginificence. The transparent details on each layer - the outermost wave-shaped curves, followed by the twisted lotus petals, the smooth edge as if it were a halo, more twisted petals and two rings engraved with rangoli motifs - distinguishes this ensemble from the statue run of Shiva-parivar.
