This painting on the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Bhandasar Temple depicts the story of the Jain monk Saalbhadra or Shalibhadra, who was a wealthy merchant earlier but gave up all his material life and accepted the vows of being a monk, as per the Shvetambara Jain tradition. The haveli (mansion) in the painting has characteristics of Rajput architecture.
