The Conversion and Ordination of Nanda
The image depicts a rectangular stone carving with a light beige color and a smooth texture. The carving is divided into two main sections separated by a gap in the center; each section contains multiple figures arranged in a scene. In the left section, numerous figures are present. On the right side, a prominent figure sits cross-legged on a throne-like structure, surrounded by several other figures. The figures are intricately carved with detailed clothing and expressions. The background of the image behind the carving is a gradient transitioning from dark gray at the top to white at the bottom; the carving appears to be placed on a ledge or surface that is visible at the bottom. The title "The Conversion and Ordination of Nanda" and the artist are associated with this carving.
