Did You Know?

A mason's mark incised at the far right would indicate the position where this panel should be placed in the monument.

Description

The naked figures may be followers of a non-Buddhist religion, such as the Jain or Ajivika. The figures with unusual hairstyles may be depictions of actors from a theatrical troupe. The mood of the procession is joyous, led by a bejeweled nude man clapping his hands to the accompaniment of a wind instrument.
