He is attended upon by two male figures, one on each side, each holding a fly-whisk (camara), and below them on each side two deities, also attended upon  each by a female figure, are shown, the deity at the proper right is a male, perhaps Kubera., and the deity at the proper left is a female, perhaps Ambika.  On top, on each side of the snake-canopy, there is each a flying garland-bearer (maladhara) and above that, close to the umbrellas, two elephants are shown, one on each side, poring water on the head of the Tirthankara.
