________________ Sundimission श्रीबहतसहस्रफया Sahasrafana Parshvanatha Pata Sahasrafana Parshvanatha literally means Parshvanatha with a thousand hoods around him. The mandala-like composition is formed by intricately interlocking serpents around Parshvanatha who is standing in meditation with total equanimity. Dharanendra and Padmavati who are deified as minor divinities in the Jaina pantheon flank him with folded hands. There are monks and devotees below standing in adoration of the Tirthankara.
