Pattalay

As we enter this first section of the art gallery, we have the promising opportunity to pass through 8 wonders as under:

Various pattalikas depicting the life events of Shri Mahavir Prabhu.
RajDarbar of Meghrath Raja: 16th Tirthankar Shri Shantinath Prabhu

is incarnated here as King Meghrath in his previous life. When a dove trembling with fear came to the lap of the kindhearted king Meghrath to take refuge, the compassionate king does not hesitate to even sacrifice himself.

Eklavya: Who gave the best Guru Dakshina?

We all know Ekalavya – devoted to his Guru as its answer. Here is a brilliant visualization of this disciple, who enlightened the weaponry of Guru Dronacharya!

Shravan Kumar: Shravan is always remembered as an

ideal son of his old and blind parents - Gnanvati and Shantvan, who took them on a pilgrimage carrying in a self made cart (kavad )! This depiction fascinates us by evoking the period of Ramayana.

Village life: This scene amazes us with an overview of

an ideal life in a village of olden times. The motto 'परस्परोपग्रह जीवानां' characterizes it.

Rujuvalika River: On the banks of this holy river in Bihar,

Prabhu Veer attained KevalGyan! Sitting near this scene, you will feel like meditating...!

Vihar of Lord Mahavir on Golden Lotuses:

Son of Trishladevi and Siddhartha Maharaja - Vardhman takes Diksha and attains KevalGyan after 12.5 years of lone penance. The scene artfully depicts how respectfully then devs place golden lotuses one by one on the way of Vihar for Prabhu’s feet.

Samovasaran: Looking at this art form of Samovasaran,

one becomes thrilled and astonished. It seems as if the preaching of Prabhu Veer will be heard right away, due to which every living being would forget enmity and become ‘mitr’ of each other.
