Summary

DescriptionSolitary Jina Kalugumalai.jpg
English: A solitary relief of an enthroned Jina. The carving measures approximately four feet in height. And is incised deep within the——rock.

The Jina is presented on a lion throne with an elaborate throne-back consisting of a bolster and crossbar that terminates in a makara and vyāla design. Two flywhisk bearers emerge from behind the "crossbar while two other male devotees flank the throne base." The Jina is crowned by, a triple chattra and curls of foliage that form a broad canopy over the Tīrthaṅkara. Five tendrils of foliage contain a central female dancer accompanied by four male musicians. Two of the musicians play a long stringed instrument while the others hold a drum and "pair of cymbals." The inclusion of these elements, "along with the foliage and details of the throne," suggest a ninth. Or early tenth-century date.3 Carved above and——to the sides of the Jina are celestial figures holding long-stemmed lotuses and/or making gestures of homage. Also across the top of the panel are riders on horseback and an elephant depicted as if emerging from the depths of the carving.
