Central Mandala of a Surimantra Pata
The second circular panel depicts images of legendary figures worthy of salutations. The space within the two intersecting triangles in the innermost circle, has Gautamaswami seated in meditative posture. Several rows of gods, four goddesses seated in four corners, and lay worshippers - all are present outside the mandala to witness it and bless the devotee. As is customary, the gurupada, the footprints of the guru are being worshipped by a devotee.
