Chapel With Buddha Image



This small chapel containing a singularly fine group of stucco figures,
one of the best preserved of their kind in the centre is seated the
Buddha in the attitude of meditation (dhyana-mudra), with a standing
Buddha to his right and left and two attendant figures behind.Of the
latter, the one to the left carries the fly-whisk (chauri), the other
is the vajrapani holding the thunderbolt in his left hand.On the central
image are still traces of the red and black paint and of the gold leaf
with which it.and doubtless the other figures also, were once bedecked.
The original figures have been removed to the museum and replaced, in
the chapel, by plaster cests.
