From Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh. Yali, also known as Vyala or Vidala in Sanskrit, is a mythical creature seen in many Hindu temples, often sculpted onto the pillars. It may be portrayed as part lion, part elephant and part horse, and in similar shapes. Also, it has been sometimes described as a leogryph (part lion and part griffin), with some bird-like features. A rampant lion is known as a śārdūla. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
