JAINA PRABHAVALI Jaina prabhavali

Publisher: Salar Jung Museum, Hyderabad

Description: There are seven wheels on the top of the Prabhavali in arc shaped below the border end. An umbrella is carved in the center and an elephant on either side of it is depicted. The elephant riders are shown in Namaskara mudra. The umbrella has three tier pattern with three human figures playing music. At the back of the elephants two bells are seen in the upper portion. In the lower portion below the elephants and bells Jaina Thirthakaras in dhyanamudra (probably image of Parsvanatha) are depicted on either side of umbrella. Below the umbrella empty space is left, perhaps to place the main figure of a Jaina god for worshipping. This Prabhavali is probably a fragment of any temple piece.
