Upasang of parshwanth
Parsvanath chose to perform penances in Kayotsarga, eyes gazing at the nose tip, while wandering from place to place.
Here, the artist depicts Dharanendra realizing that Parsvanath is exposed to the heat of the sun, intertwines his long serpentine body around the Tirthankara and placing his nine hoods over his head as an umbrella. It is an imaginative and monumental imagery laid out on a red background. The filling of blue colour around the head is very ingenious.
