(7) The last picture represents the temple of Mahāvīra Svāmī at Pāvāgaṛh, near Chāmpāner. The Jina is attended by the gods and musicians. Outside the sanctum stand two men and women with folded hands and two Jain monks. At the bottom are seen two women dancing and playing on the cymbals and the vīṇā (Fig. 186). They are florists, as is evident from their flower baskets. One wears a red tunic, and the other a red cholī and blue skirt.
