Weight: 13360 Carats Feeling of cyclonic movement going around the idollending life to this already vibrant statue in blue. The quest of the sculptor to balance the lines has been met beautifully. A well poised, expressive face and eyebrows seem like they are meeting in the center that add a mystic flavor to this idol of "Lord Padmaprabha". Delicate ornamental beauty added by the hints of gold and red along with the red lotus on the platform makes this a fine piece of art.

A splendid idol of "Lord Suparshvanath" in Lapis Lazuli, one of the most prized gemstones of Ancient Egypt. An interesting curve on the ends of the Sinhasan platform together with the immaculate proportions of the body parts adds to the beauty of the idol. The Swastika chinha beautifully symbolizes the Tirthankar embodied in the lapis lazuli rock.
