Enshrined image of Jain Tirthankara Sumatinath Público Deposited
The enshrined image of Sumatinath, the fifth Jain Tirthankara. The sarvatobhadra (open from all four cardinal sides) sculpture of Sumatinath is placed on a high pedestal. The sculpture sits on a low platform which has a motif of a Krauncha (bird), which is lanchan (emblem) of the Tirthankara carved at the centre. The pedestal of the sculpture is adorned with gold embossing meenakari (enamel) artwork. On the front side of this pedestal is another sculpture, probably of another Tirthankara. The enshrined object is under a canopy supported by four pillars. All the sculptures are made of marble with ornamentation in red and gold colour. There are also some small portable sculptures of Tirthankara in the garbhagriha, probably donated as votive images.
