Shakra (Indra) Reveres the Embryo of Mahavira: Folio from a Kalpasutra Manuscript
Unknown artist
The all-knowing supreme god Shakra (Indra) knows of Mahavira’s descent to earth from heaven as an embryo inserted into the Brahmani Devananda. He steps down from his bejeweled, triple-spired throne and, kneeling on a cushion, worships the jina. His honorific umbrella accompanies him. The flattened composition is set against a vibrant blue color field.
