This panel depicts a noble figure attended by four dwarfs (nāgas), who alternately hold an umbrella aloft, carry a vessel, or raise their hands in reverence. All four have short, corpulent physiques and wear their hair in distinctive topknots. The central figure dressed in princely garb, stands with his left hand on his hip and holds a large lotus bloom in his right. Such lotus-bearing figures attended by dwarfs represent the last vestiges of the yakṣa (nature deity) sculptural tradition in the Andra territories and the prototype for images of the bodhisattvas, the Buddhist saviors who first appear as attendants to the Buddha.
