This image showcases a meticulously carved stone relief sculpture situated within a weathered cave. The central figure is a serene Buddha in a seated meditative posture, adorned in traditional robes. Flanking the Buddha are smaller relief carvings, seemingly depicting attendant figures or bodhisattvas, each with unique poses and expressions. The entire composition is encased within an arched alcove, exhibiting intricate decorative border carvings with floral and scrollwork patterns. The stone itself shows the effects of time and exposure to the elements, with discoloration and some areas of erosion adding to its historical significance. The artistry and detail visible even in the damaged sections are remarkable.
