Rakta-Avalokitesvara, Tara and Bhrikuti, Second floor

Various lesser carved panels are scattered throughout this floor, with a notable number of female bodhisattvas among them, while in a few instances relief stupas replace or substitute for Buddha images. A particularly impressive example, visible to the left of the center aisle (seen here), shows the seated bodhisattva Rakta-Avalokitesvara, with Amitabha Buddha in his jata headdress and an expanded lotus, seated between Tara (with varada mudra) on the left, and Bhrikuti (with her water pot) on the right.
