"Beautiful sculpture of Lord Shiva wearing a garland of skulls in the act of killing the demon Andhakasura. He has eight hands. One hand in the right side wields a trident thrusting into the body of the demon Andhakasura. A garland of human skulls passes over his body like the sacred Janeu Galaganath Temple Pattadakkal KA https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020671490417684749 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020671490417684749"
