These reliefs, partially obscured by a recently renovated temple-complex dedicated to a local goddess and to the god Ayyanār. These carvings feature three independent Jina images arranged horizontally across the face of stone. These Jinas exhibit a similar iconographic program as the solitary image Pārśvanātha. Major elements include the lion throne, flywhisk attendants, standing devotees, triple chattra, halo, and a tree. The image to the far left (when facing the reliefs) best correlates with the Jina in the first group as it also contains the five circular tendrils of foliage, musicians and dancer, riders on horses, and a central elephant. Carved above two of the Jina panels in Group 2 is a series of seven smaller Jinas. These figures are presented with the triple chattra and are supported by a double-lotus seat rather than a lion throne. All of the images are carved with donative inscriptions. It should be noted, however, that one of the Jinas does appear to have a single yakṣa or śāsanadeva carved beneath the niche. This male figure appears to hold a long handled implement in both hands and a conch is over his head. The figure appears to have been carved substantially later as it disrupts the carving of the Jina image’s donative inscription
