Mahratt is absolutely correct on the 10 avatars of Vishnu depicted here.
Khandjarli is associated with Vishnu symbols.

Thank you Gustav for your comment! And thank you Mahratt for opening this very interesting thread!

I had no idea that the Khanjarli is associated to Vishnu.

In that case the figure I identified as (dancing) Shiva Nataraja must be Kalki, the 10th avatar of Visnu, that is represented as riding a horse.

Then, the first figure on the right of the opposing side would be Matsya, the first avatar of Vishnu, that is represented as half fish. And upon careful examination that figure looks indeed like half fish.

Then, I can assume the figures in-between Matsya and Kalki are the other avatars from right to left.

So, what do you think?
