One of the most remarkable ornamental features that adorn this monastery is a series of bas-reliefs that adorn the front of the steps of the stairs leading from the so-called pantheon or vihâra to the circular court at Jamâlgarhî. They are sixteen in number, and each is carved with a bas-relief containing twenty, thirty, or forty figures according to the subject.² Among these the Vishvantara and Sâma jâtakas can easily be recognised,³ and so may others when carefully examined.
