| Description / विवरण | |
| Description / विवरण | Maya is in the center holding the branch of the sala tree with her right hand, the left hand being placed around the shoulder of her sister Mahaprajapati on whom she leans for support. To the left is a woman holding what appears to be a whisk and another with a spouted water pot. The child, nimbate, is just emerging from Maya’s right side, the god Indra stretching out a towel in order to receive him. Behind him are two other figures, one with hands folded in adoration and the other waving a piece of cloth and touching his lips with a finger in a gesture expressing amazement. The rejoicing in the heaven is symbolized by musical instruments floating at the top. |
