This is Revanta, son of God Surya. He is identified by the parasol, his riding horse, and his hunting entourage. There are different stories about his birth and one of the most popular versions is he is born to Surya and Sanjna.

Revanta is worshipped as a warrior God, Lord of the forests and the Lord of the horses.

Revanta, in this example, is holding reins with both hands. The horse’s head is turned towards the viewer; the left leg is raised, bent at the knee, the hoof resting on something, possibly a dog. At the back is the parasol carrier and above the horse’s head is a figure in Anjali mudra. In front of the horse, there is, possibly, another attendant.

This iconography is standardised across Central and Western India. Bengal has a slightly different tradition and shows Revanta in the front view accompanied by two other horse riders.

This Vigraha is about 9 cm tall and it is from Western India, possibly Gujarat. This Vigraha may be dated to the 11th century or earlier. This is one of the rarer bronzes in my collection.

Note: Though this iconography is distinct, I have seen this being interpreted as Kalki (Kalki will carry a sword), Bhairava (Being an ascetic he will not have a parasol) and Khandobha (Where is the Trishul?)
