representing Tirthankaras---each under his respective tree. Other panels elaborately worked : Yakshas and Yakshis Dharanendra raksha and Padmāvati.

The panel of Pārsvanātha with the snakehood over his head is a gem of early Pandya art (Pl. 16).
There are long rows of seated Tirthankara figures repeating the complete hierachy of Tirthankaras three times over.
