Summary

Description
English: Statue of a crouching lion over an elephant at the base of the Aruna Stambha in front of the Singhadwara of the Jagannath Temple, Puri, India. The lion, being at a corner has two bodies but only one head. Hence, this particular motif is known as a Do-picchaā Gaja-Singha (literally two-bodied elephant-lion) in Kalingan architecture.
Français : Statue d'un lion accroupi sur un éléphant à l'entrée du temple de Jagannath, Puri, Inde
ଓଡ଼ିଆ: ଅରୁଣ ସ୍ତମ୍ଭର ତଳଭାଗରେ ହାତୀକୁ ଚାପି ଧରିଥିବା ସିଂହର ମୂର୍ତ୍ତି । ଏହାକୁ ଗଜସିଂହ ଭାସ୍କର୍ଯ୍ୟ କୁହନ୍ତି । କଣରେ ଅଙ୍କିତ କରାଯାଇଥିବାରୁ ସିଂହର ଗୋଟିଏ ମୁଣ୍ଡ କିନ୍ତୁ ଦୁଇଗୋଟି ଦେହ । ତେଣୁ ଏହି ଭାସ୍କର୍ଯ୍ୟକୁ ଦୋପିଚ୍ଛା ଗଜସିଂହ ବୋଲାଯାଏ ।
