The fifth oval painting (in clockwise order) in the lower/outer circle in the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) is the episode where Jinadatta Suri saved the life of an unwell child brought to him by two women. The episode takes place outside a haveli, probably near the place where the acharya (those who impart knowledge) is meditating. The acharya is shown blessing the child by placing his palm on the child’s head. The inscription reads, ‘Shri Jinadatta Suriji balak jivayo.’
