Ajanta: The Colour and Monochrome Reproductions of the Ajanta Frescoes Based on Photography v2.c8.s1.13

On either side of the antechamber is a chapel, the front of which is adorned with delicately carved pillars and pilasters. The chapels contain figures of *Yakshas* designed with a feeling of reverence perhaps akin to that shown in the carving of the figure of the Buddha himself. In the right chapel are *Pāñcika* and his consort *Hāritī*, while the left has two male figures, one holding a mango and the other a purse. The majesty of these two figures is at once felt. They are attended by fly-whisk bearers and fat cherubs, the latter bringing offerings.
