Jaina Rock-cut Caves in Western India Her vāhana Garuda is in human form. He is seated in alidhāsana with hands outstretched in the attitude of lifting Chakresvari (Plate 107).
7. Seated devotees: 0.75m by 0.35m.
This panel, depicting three seated figures of devotees, is carved touching the ceiling. There are two males and a female. Each figure measures around 0.29m by 0.27m. All are seated in ardhapadmāsana with hands in añjali mudra and holding aksamala. The hands of one of the male figures are partially broken. The figure near the back wall, seems to be that of a nonk, as he does not wear any garment or ornaments. The central figure wears earrings and necklace. The female wears ornaments similar to those of Chakresvari.
The back wall of the hall/shrine is covered with large icons. There are three icons of Jinas flanked by the figures of yaksa Sarvānubhūti and yakşi Ambikā. The cave is dedicated to the twenty-third tirthankara, Parsvanātha. All these icons on the back wall of the hall are carved at some height from the floor with a sort of platfom in front, which has water channel leading to a pit cut in the floor in front of the main icon. This pit is 0.48m by 0.37m. and is around 0.6m deep. The arrangement was made for collecting the water used for abulations of the icons, an important aspect of the ritual.
8. Sarvānubhuti: 1.1m by 0.67m
The figure of Sarvānubhūti, measuring 0.8m by 0.67m, is seated in loose ardhapadınāsana on an elephant, shown in profile. As usual, this figure is corpulent and pot-bellied. In the right hand he holds a fruit, while in the left hand is held a purse and both the hands are kept on the knees. His face is damaged. He is fully decked.
The next three icons of Jinas, including the main icon of Pārsvanatha, are within pilastered frames, formed by four pilasters, the central two pilasters being common between the main icon and the side icons. At the base of each pilaster is a figure of a standing Jina, while on the capital is a seated figure of a Jina.
9. Standing Jina: 1.4m by 0.67
This figure is similar to Supārsvanātha-Parávanātha icons in the verandah. The only difference is the absence of snake-hoods and elephants on the throne as well as those above the head in the attitude of lustrating.
10. Seated Parsvanatha: 1.37m by 1.03m.
The figure of Parsvanatha, the main icon of the cave, measuring 0.7m by 0.67m, is seated in padmāsana on a lion throne. The snake-hood and the face are partially broken, but the number of hoods seems to be seven. Like other Jina figures, he also has a diamond-shaped śrivatsa, long ears touching the shoulders and a curved line on the chest. The throne, though similar to that of Jina parels in the verandah, is more decorative with a cushion and separate compartments formed by round pilasters. Flanking the throne are small figures of yakşa Sarvānubhūti and yakşi Padmāvati. While Sarvānubhūti is depicted as usual, but without his vāhana, Padmāvati is depicted seated in savylalitasana on a plain seat with a single snake-hood and indistinct objects in the hands.
