Explanation

Mamallapuram (Mahabalipuram) has several famous sculptural panels including the Descent of the Ganges (also called Arjuna's Penance) and Draupadi's disrobing from the Mahabharata. However, the Kirata episode (Shiva disguised as a hunter testing Arjuna) is not among the famous depictions at this site, though it appears in other temple art.
