All the above
Statement 1: It may appear as a monolithic structure. In reality this stone shrine was built with many giant granite blocks. The joints are smartly hidden in the carvings and other decorative features that adorn the Stone Chariot. Statement 2: One can still see the remains of the painting on the carvings of the chariot. Probably because it was relatively protected from the natural weather elements, the undercarriage of the chariot spots one of the best preserved specimens of this kind of paintings.It is believed the whole of the Vittala Temple’s sculptures were once beautifully painted in similar fashion using the minerals as medium. Statement 3: But, these stone elephants were brought from elsewhere and positioned here at a later stage. Originally two horses were carved in that position.
