On the right side the fresco is considerably damaged, but five figures representing gods may be made out, two of whom can be easily identified—Indra by the third eye in his forehead, and Brahma by his plaited hair dressed like that of a *yogī*. A little below, two more figures may be traced, one of a *deva* dressed in a striped robe and seated on a cushion, and another of a celestial being floating above the earth, although he has evidently entered the divine court through the gate on the right side, half of his body being inside the court and half in the gate and beyond. Near the jamb of the gate another figure may be descried, kneeling low towards the ground.
