Candi Vishnu, Prambanan
A band of relief panels along the back and sides of Candi Vishnu show, in each panel, a pair of kinnaras - the Hindu bird-men and women of the heavenly courts - on either side of a floral design, with a pair of flying birds in the upper corners. Although these conventional decorations are repeated in similar panels all across the entire base, they were given individuality by the skill of the artist, as illustrated by the two panels above. Similar reliefs are also carved along the base of Candi Shiva, arguing a unified program of construction and decoration for the temples in the Prambanan group.
