Lalitavistara panel I.a65 narrates the Great Departure of Shakyamuni from his palace at Kapilavastu, at the beginning of his spiritual journey. Gods Indra (with umbrella) and Brahma lead Shakyamuni's horse, while flying apsarasas cushion the horse's feet so as not to awaken the palace's inhabitants. The prince is seated on his horse in a variant of "royal ease," almost as if the saddle were a throne. I.a65 is the upper panel in this photograph. It is located on the upper tier of Corridor 1, on the west side of the monument.
