Ahimsa Paramo Dharma Neminatha turning back from the Bridal
Pavilion Neminatha, the 22nd Tirthankara returned from His marriage procession halfway to avoid killing of animals captured for the marriage feast. The marriage procession of Neminatha is illustrated in a more simple style. The painting is divided into two panels; the upper panel depicts Nemikumara approaching the palace of Rajamati. In the lower panel He is seen returning single without getting married, as He was greatly anguished by the violence in the kind of life He lived.
