Standing Tara and BuddhaThe actual focus of this forward-facing shrinelet was the bhadrasana Buddha on its rear wall. To the right of this central panel is a large standing Tara, with the jata headdress, holding a large stemmed lotus and with her proper right hand in the gesture of reassurance (abhaya mudra), stands in a large panel in the right wall, with an equally large standing Buddha at her proper left. Two smaller panels, the upper with an Avalokitesvara, the lower with a Tara, appear to have been added at the right, beyond which the wall has been repaired with cement.
