though conversing, and the last pair on the right appear to be similarly engaged.
All but two have their hands folded in añjali-mudrā. Of these two, the figure on the
extreme left has the right hand raised as in teaching or arguing (vitarka-mudrā), and
the right palm turned outwards in vara-mudrā. The second figure from the
right end seems to bear some object on the left hand and to be gently touching or
steadying it with the tips of the fingers of the other hand. All the figures but the
monk have a flame ornament rising from the tiara or mukuṭa.
Floating against the pale vermilion background are scattered pink or yellow
flowers with green centres.
All contour lines are drawn with thin, wiry precision, lacking the suave quality
usual with brush lines. Oxidization and abrasion have contributed to the extensive
destruction of the picture.
