Mahavira Distributes Wealth: Folio from a Kalpasutra Manuscript
The image shows a beige-colored, aged manuscript page with a red and blue border on the left side. The left side of the page features an illustration depicting a scene with several figures, including a central figure with a blue halo, wearing a crown and holding an object in one hand. The central figure stands on a small figure; a larger figure stands behind and to the right; and another smaller figure to the right. The scene is set against a red background with a blue semicircle around the central figure's head. The right side of the page contains black text written in a non-Latin script, with a red vertical line separating it from the illustration. A red circle is positioned near the center of the page, between the text and the illustration. The page has a worn and aged appearance, with visible signs of wear and tear.
