This sculpture is based on Jatak Tales. In this sculptural panel Lord Buddha has been shown seated in ‘Dhayan Mudra’ under a Bodhi tree. The composition of this relief is very complex and highly dynamic which generates considerable movement. The figures on the left of this relief have shown Mara riding his elephant with his army consisting of various kinds of people including some with animal faces. At the lower base, there are some dancing figures considered as of Mara’s daughters with musicians and one of the dancing figures is dominant on the right lower end, has expanded her hands in dancing posture.
