BUDDHA,
KAVI NACHIAMMAN TEMPLE
This
Buddha bas-relief is on the compound wall of the Sri Kavi Nachiamman temple. The
Buddha is in ardha padmasana, dhyana posture. The Buddha is with elongated earlobes and ushnisha on the head. The
Buddha’s bas-relief is in the middle of the makara torana.
This
bas-relief is applied with layer and layers of red paint; hence, complete
details could not be seen. But some enthusiasts claim this bas-relief as
Tirthankara. The bas-relief is definitely not a Tirthankara, and there is no
mukkudai on the top of the bas-relief.
