Lowest Architrave—Temptation of the Buddha. In the centre is the temple of Bodhgaya with the *Pipal* Tree and the Throne of the Buddha within; to the right, the armies of Māra fleeing discomfitted from the Buddha; to the left, the Devas celebrating the victories of the Buddha over the evil one and exalting his glorious achievements. The *Māra-Dharshaṇa* scene set a model for its subsequent portrayal in other places and even in the Ajanta painting.
