English: Ananda was constructed around 1105, and restored in 1783. It is built

on the plan of a Greek cross (i.e. with four equal arms), with one major image in each of the four interior shrines. The statues are about 9' tall, and made of gilded wood. They represent the four so-called "historical" buddhas of the present age. The first three of these buddhas are legendary. The fourth and latest, Siddhartha Gautama, lived from 563 to 483 BC and is the founder of Buddhism.

The statues in the north and south shrines are original (1105); the other two were restored in the 18th century.

The mudra of Konagamanda's right hand is unique:

a small ball (of medicine?) is presented between the thumb and middle finger, the rest of the hand being held as in varada mudra (giving). However, this figure cannot simultaneously represent the Medicine Buddha (Bhaisajyaguru) and Konagamanda, since those two deities are not the same.
