Behind Pūrṇa, there are three male figures, two of whom, carrying trays, have bent down in the characteristic Indian way to show their respect to the Great Being. Behind these male figures are painted four ladies whose poses and dress show great beauty and charm. The features of these figures have become somewhat dim, but the expression of veneration or of amazement can be judged from the gestures of their hands. The wavy trail of the *sārī* of a lady of this group shows artistic feeling.
