caption_attribution_description: English: Ghatotkacha is the son of Bhima and is fighting for the Pandavas. He stands over the horses. Karna is fighting for the Kauravas and is in the chariot. A similar sculpture is found near the Denpasar, Bali International airport, Indonesia. It is at the only highway entrance in the northeast corner of the airport, and is called the Patung Satria Gatotkaca (lit. sculpture of Kshatriya Ghatotkacha). The two artworks are similar, though the details vary (such as spokes in the chariot wheel – 12 vs 16, the location of the wheel – inside or outside the cover, where exactly Ghatotkacha is standing, the presence of mythic makaras on the side of the scene at Bali, etc). This image is a derivative exposure-adjustment etc work on Karna Ghatotkach Fight.jpg, found with wikimedia commons CC license.
