In the illustrated book-cover representing Jinadatta Sūri in his audience hall, the two women represented wear *sārīs* and tight *chādars* covering their coiffure and falling at their back (Fig. 247). It is remarkable that no bodice covers their breasts. This may be due to their deference to the temple custom.
