(1) The length of the picture is 26½″. The upper portion of the *śikhara* is lost. This painting was prepared at the order of Sāha Guṇiyaka, as the inscription below says. Within the sanctum is seated green coloured and serpent hooded Pārśvanātha, and not Supārśvanātha, as observed by Mr. N.C. Mehta. On his right stands probably Shāh Guṇiyaka with folded hands, and on the left, an unnamed Jain monk, probably the teacher of Guṇiyaka.
