Āścaryarūpa (आश्चर्यरूप) refers to an “image created with wonderful features”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.38 (“Description of the dais or maṇḍapa”).—Accordingly, as Himavat prepared the wedding of Menā and Śiva: “[...] Bhṛgu and other sages, secondary gods (upasura), Siddhas and others were represented by Viśvakarman. A wonderful image of Viṣṇu with his attendants, Garuḍa and others was created by him with wonderful features (parama-āścaryarūpa). I too was portrayed as surrounded by my sons, Vedas and Siddhas. O Nārada, I was represented as reciting the hymns. An artificial image of Indra seated on Airāvata and accompanied by his attendants was made by him looking as beautiful as the full moon. [...]”.
