Kubera and Yama
[edit]I think the front-left statue is en:Kubera, because his en:vahana is human. And the statue next to it is en:Yama, whose vahana is buffalo. In other words, those in the front line are 4-direction lokapala;
- North: Kubera on human
- South: Yama on buffalo
- West: Varuna on tortoise (Up: Brahma on swan)
- East: Indra on elephant
I'm not too sure about behind 2 statues. Maybe they are Up and Down (heaven and earth) direction, e.g. Brahma, Prithvi, etc.--Askr (talk) 11:47, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
