Description:: The Shikhara (superstructure) of the Adinatha Temple is built in the Nagara style, albeit an abbreviated one.

6. Depiction of a sleeping couple with a snake near the leg of the man

Description:: The ninth oval painting (in clockwise order) in the lower/outer circle in the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) is difficult to decipher. It appears to depict a sleeping couple, with a snake near the leg of the man. Outside the haveli (mansion) which houses this couple, there is an armed figure that looks like a soldier or guard in uniform.

7. Depiction of the story of Chandakaushika Nag and Mahavir

Description:: The painting in the inner/upper circle in the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) likely depicts the story of Chandakaushika Nag and Mahavir. According to the tale, as Mahavir travelled through a forest, a snake named Chandak blocked his path. However, Mahavir instead of being scared of him stood at the place firmly. Chandak bit the Tirthankara, yet the latter remained calm, intending no harm to the snake. This story intends to teach everyone the importance of controlling anger and cultivating compassion. Mahavir has a divine halo behind his head, painted in golden colour. A temple dedicated to the snake is shown at the background of the painting. The inscription from this painting is not entirely legible, but it certainly includes the name of Mahavir Swami.

8. Another story about the miracle of Jinadatta Suri

Description:: The fourteenth oval painting (in clockwise order) in the lower/outer circle in the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) is another story about the miracle of Jinadatta Suri. Once, somewhere in Gujarat, with the evil intent of troubling the Jains, some people placed a cow in front of the Jain Temple. Jinadatta Suri, using his powers, placed the cow in front of the Shiva Temple. Interestingly, the Hindu temple, with a Shiva linga inside, is shown with a domical spire, while the Jain Temple is shown with a Tirthankara enshrined in it, featuring a multi-spired roof. The painting includes two cows, one sitting in front of the Jain Temple, and the other standing in front of Jinadatta Suri. Jinadatta presumably also restored life to the cows. A disciple accompanies him. The inscription reads, ‘Shri Jinadatta Suri ji Gavu ji la hi.’

10. Stringent fasting conditions of Mahavir Swami

Description:: The story of the painting in the inner/upper circle in the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) revolves around Mahavir Swami&#39;s stringent fasting conditions, which required specific circumstances for accepting food. Chandanbala, formerly known as Princess Vasumati, fulfilled these conditions despite enduring hardships as a slave after being separated from her royal family. The haveli (mansion) in which the princess is depicted sitting reflects significant European architectural influence. Mistreated by a merchant’s wife, Chandanbala’s compassionate nature led her to offer lentils to Mahavir Swami, breaking his prolonged fast. This act of devotion resulted in her liberation from chains and being adorned with celestial riches. Recognized as Princess Vasumati, she was warmly received back into royalty by King Shaitanik and Queen Mrugavati, eventually receiving spiritual initiation from Mahavir Swami. The inscription reads, ‘Chandanbal Mahavir Shwami.’
