The Jain images which are measured in the large ten *tāla* have a purely human shape, carved in an erect or sitting posture, and may be stationary or movable. They are furnished with no robes or ornaments, but are placed on a throne decorated with the *makara* arch and the *kalpa* tree. On the chest the *śrīvatsa* symbol is marked in gold. They are attended by Nārada and other sages, as well as by Yakshas, Vidyādharas, Siddhas, Nāgendras, Lokapālas, etc. The twenty-four *Tīrthaṅkaras* are also measured in the ten *tāla* system.
