ūⲹⲹṇa (सूर्यनाराय�) is depicted as a sculpture on the ninth pillar of the southern half of the ṇḍ貹 of the temple of Lokeśvara in a scene known as “The story of the churning of the ocean�.—On the top of the mountain is a male figure which looks like ūⲹⲹṇa and not Viṣṇu. By and large, the images of the Sun god are shown with two hands, holding lotus in each and a halo behind his head. Here also, it may not be wrong to identify the figure as ūⲹⲹṇa because the figure has only two hands with a lotus in each.
