### [c8.176](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.176)

The façade of the cave on either side of the door, which had formerly been occupied by panels containing figures of donors (Fig. 44), is now divided into compartments with figures of the Buddha. It had taken centuries before the Buddha was given an image, and it took further centuries before the image could appear repeatedly and as a pattern on the outside of the temple.
