This statue is enshrined within the back (west) wall niche of the main chamber, to the left of the Buddha. The youthful disciple Ananda wears a monastic robe with crossed collars. The robe is colorful and has numerous fine folds. The disciple leans to one side with hands clasped before him and hidden within his sleeves. The features express a simple, gentle character.
