- Description:
- The third oval painting (in clockwise order) in the lower/outer circle in the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) depicts an episode from Jinachandra Suri's life. Once, a disciple of Jinachandra Suri mistakenly told a Muslim religious leader it was a no-moon day when it was a new moon day. The Muslim leader spread the misinformation across the city, questioning the disciple’s knowledge of the day. To rectify the situation, Jinachandra Suri threw a gold plate into the sky, covering the moon and thus converting the day into a no-moon day. This miracle is supposed to have taken place in front of Emperor Akbar. The inscription reads, ‘Shri Jinachandra Suri ji na Purnima kari.’

- The second oval painting (in clockwise order) in the lower/outer circle in the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) is the episode of Panch Pir coming to greet Jinadatta Suri.

On the banks, devotees are shown sitting with offerings. The inscription reads, ‘panch pir shri Jina datta suri ji.’

- Description:
- The twelfth oval painting (in clockwise order) in the lower/outer circle in the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) is the episode of Jinadatta Suri when he procured texts which were hidden in the pillar by a Jain ascetic several years ago. No one knew the location of the sacred scriptures, but the acharya (those who impart knowledge) could discern it using his magical powers. The pillar containing the sacred scriptures is depicted as a fluted column. This painting bears the name of the painter, M. Altaf Usta. The word ‘Usta’ used as a suffix here comes from the word ustad, meaning expert.

- Description:
- One of the most well-known stories of the miracles of Jinadatta Suri, the eleventh oval painting (in clockwise order) in the lower/outer circle in the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) depicts this episode of the story of sixty-four yoginis. The story takes place in Ujjain. Once, Jinadatta Suri was amidst a religious discourse when he foresaw that sixty-four yoginis were coming his way to disturb the gathering. The yoginis arrived disguised as laywomen. Jinadatta Suri asked his disciples to spread sixty-four mats for the yoginis, and using his powers, the acharya (those who impart knowledge) glued the yoginis to the mat. This way, the yoginis were compelled to attend the religious discourse and eventually became disciples of Jinadatta Suri. According to Lawrence Babb, this episode depicts the Jain attempt to tame the tantric goddesses. The inscription reads, ‘Shri Jinadatta Suriji 64 joganiya saji.’
