Shrine
The Buddha sits in padmāsana with his hands in the Dharmachakrapravartanamudrā, where the thumb and index fingers of both hands form a circle each. The standing Bodhisatvas appear behind the throne and are holding chāmara or fly-whisks. A tree has been depicted behind the Buddha, right behind the vyalas.
