This Jina figure is seated in padmāsana on a throne, which is hidden behind the modern platform built in front of Ganeśa and the goddess. He has a śrivatsa and triple chhatra, but the halo is not shown. The head is shown plain and on each shoulder is a lock of hair. The pilasters, makara, chauri-bearers behind the throne back and yakşa-yaksi figures on the bases on pilasters are as in the case of Jinas on the right sidewall.
33. Panchatirthika: 1.29m by 0.88m.
It consists of a seated figure of mūlanāyaka flanked by a standing Jina and a seated Jina above him. The main Jina is seated in padmāsana on a cushion kept on the throne. He has a śrivatsa, long ears, oval-shaped and decorative halo and triple chhatra with kalaśa top. The head is plain and on each shoulder is a lock of hair. Above the chhatra is shown a drum player and flanking it is a chauri-bearer.
34. Standing Supārsvanatha: 0.89m by 0.38m.
This figure stands in kāyotsarga on a half lotus. He has a curved line on the stomach.

Both are seated. The yakṣa holds a fruit in each hand. The yakşi is not clear.
35. Standing Jina: 1.24m by 0.9m.
This figure is very similar to Jina figure on the right sidewall.
36. Sarasvati: 1.04m by 0.43m.
This figure of Sarasvati is very similar to that of the other Sarasvati figure. The posture, number of hands, objects in the hands, ornaments and garment are identical. Here the objects in the upper hands are partially damaged. Above her head is a seated Jina. Below him on each side is another figure of seated Jina. All Jinas sit is a niche with pointed top.
Near her feet are small figures of a yakşi on each side. The figure on the left is very unclear, but the one on right seems to be Ambika as a child can be seen on her lap.

The two-armed figure of the male stands in abhanga. In his right hand is a flower, partially damaged. His left hand is around the neck of the female. The female stands cross-legged, in tribhanga. Her right hand is around the neck of the male and in the left hand is a flower. Each wears a karanda mukūta, earrings, anklets and a lower garment. Above these is shown a tree with leaves like a mango tree. But fruits are not shown. In the tree is shown a seated Jina (Plate 153).
It is difficult to identify these figures.
