As the frescoes on the other walls of this chapel are also much damaged, it can only be conjectured that the previous story has been continued on them. However, on the back wall, to the right of the cell door, the outlines of one white and one pink elephant can be made out, as well as the figure of a horse. The fresco on the right wall of the chapel is, comparatively speaking, better preserved, and we notice a court scene in which a rājā is shown sitting on a throne. He is wearing an elaborate crown and rich jewellery, which are in keeping with the Indian ideals of the dignity of a king. The rājā holds a fruit (a mango?) in his right hand.
