This is formed on the rock next to the above-mentioned Seated Buddha. It is expressed in line engraving on the whole surface of the huge rock facing west. Although the image of the seated Buddha is partially defaced, it is not so difficult to imagine the original form. The upper part is rather severely abraded, but the usnisa on the head and the nimbuses for the head and the body are recognizable. The face is broad, and the eyes and brows, the ridge of the nose, and the mouth and lips are arranged normally. The ears are barrel shaped and the neck is decorated with the typical three lines. The robe is draped over both shoulders with distinct folds engraved on it. The legs are completely crossed and the robe is draped naturally on them. The position of the hands is not distinct due to excessive abrasion.
