The Kailasanatha temple depicts one of the rarest forms of Tripurasamhara, in one of the smaller shrines on the south prakara, by portraying Siva standing not on his chariot, but on the ground and engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Unlike the other panels, where Siva is multi- armed, this one shows him only with tow hands. The famous bow and arrow with which Siva is said to have destroyed the three forts of the Asuras is absent and insteadhe fights with his triden. The Asuras are shown fighting from their forts. The panel beautifully illustratÄ—s the vigour in Sivas combat. The rhythm in fighting is expressed by the drawn out legs and the hand in the act of throwing the trident in the direction of the Asuras. It also reveals the anxiety writ large in the face of Brahma, Vishnu, Uma and the other celestials, who are watching the fight between Siva and the Asuras Another sculpture of this kind is not met with in the Tamil country.
