| Description |  |
Totally abandoned, it was taken over, during the Period of Disruption by a dozen different new devotees, who filled the unfinished shrine antechamber and the rear wall with carved and painted intrusions, many of which have brief dedicatory inscriptions, mostly referring to monastic donors -surely in large part the monks still resident at the site during these disruptive years of 479 and 480.
On the right wall of the shrine are painted the seven Manushi-Buddhas with Maitreya under their respective Bodhi Trees. |
