Ugra - Seated

In this bright and ornate Orissan painting, eight-armed Lord Nrsimhadev is framed against a lotus in the background, rather than the Nagas. While the Lord's knees are not visible, we can see from the position of His feet that he is sitting, and the demon is across His lap. The Lord's extended tongue, ears, and whiskers give this image a particularly feline look
