This figure is the leftmost, as you face the Gal Vihara, of the four sculptures. Buddha sits in meditation within a shallowly-carved niche that is framed by a makara torana behind his torso, a scalloped arch around his head, and architectural pavilions around the arch. His oval head is sensitively carved, yet aloof and abstracted. His legs are folded in meditation, his hands in dhyana mudra. The base of his lotus throne is decorated with alternating trisulas and lions.
