show that images of Sumatinatha were installed in them but they are now missing.
In the Bhamati, there are some small cells. Beginning from our left, in cell no. 1, the mūlanāyaka is Sambhavanatha. There are two more figures of Tirthankaras, making a total of 3 Jina images. Similarly, in cell no. 2, mūlanayaka is Ādinátha, and 3 Jina figures in all. In cell no. 3, same mūlanayaka, total 3 images. In cell no. 4, same mūlanayaka, 4 images in all. In cell no. 5, same mūlanayaka, 4 images in all. In cell no. 6, same mūlanayaka, 3 images in all. In cell no. 7, same mūlanayaka, 3 images in all. A big cell seems to have been planned after the cell no. 7, but after the erection of the platform etc., the work seems to have been abondoned at this stage. A row of cells begins from our right as we enter the temple; in cell no. 1, mūlanāyaka Ādinātha, no other image. In cell no. 2, same mūlanayaka, 3 Jina figures in all. In cell no. 3, same mūlanāyaka, 3 images in all. In cell no. 4, mulanāyaka Neminatha, 3 images in all. In cell no. 5, mūlanāyaka Adinatha, total 3 images. In cell no. 6, mūlanayaka Ajitanātha, 3 figures in all. In cell no. 7, mūlanāyaka Ādinātha, 3 Jina figures in all.
In the same row, after the seventh cell, is a small shrine of Suvidhinatha, with a pinnacle on top and miscalled as temple of Shantinatha by local people. In the sanctum is worshipped a Pañchatirthika sa-parikara sculpture of Tirthankara Suvidhinatha. To the right of the mulanayaka is a beautiful figure of Shri Puṇḍarika svāmi, the chief ganadhara of Adinatha, installed in V. S. 1394 according to the inscription on it. The figure shows the Ogho behind the neck and the mouth-piece on the right shoulder. There is a halo behind the head of Pundarika svāmī sitting in the padmāsana, and marks of an upper and a lower garment
