plate When talking about the IsurumuniViharaya, it’s impossible to forget about the “Isurumuni fans.” This sculpture dates to the 6th century and is a good example of Guptha style. Despite the woman, who is sitting on the man’s lap, lifting a warning finger, the man continues to work regardless of what she has to say.
