Chola-style Indian temple guardian sculpture (Dwarapala), standing in alidha pose with broad chest, bent knees, one arm raised in warning mudra, other hand gripping ornate mace. Fierce symmetrical face with bulging eyes, curled mustache, and tall conical crown. Draped stone dhoti with layered folds, chest thread, and deep-carved jewelry bands. Hair tied in sculptural loops, wide stance atop lotus-carved pedestal. Crafted from weathered basalt with visible chisel marks, stylized shadow-ready carvings, clean watertight silhouette. Museum-quality temple icon. #dwarapala
