Summary edit

Description
English: From the source,

This painting represents a ceiling panel inside cave 2 at Ajanta (ceiling of main shrine). There is a lotus rosette in the centre from which concentric bands radiate out. Each band has a different design within it. Immediately following the rosette are three circles of plain colour and after this is a circle of different types of flowers. Following this are two more plain rings followed by a wide band of black and white geometric designs. This band is circled by three plain rings of colour. In the four corners are small dwarf like figures with sweet faces and big bellies. They are flying towards the Buddha and carry offering of trays of flowers in their hands. They are surrounded by clouds.
