This statue is enshrined to the right of the Buddha within the back (west) wall niche in the main chamber. The disciple Mahakasyapa is portrayed as an elderly monk with a long face, furrowed brows, and thin lips that are slightly parted, showing his teeth. He wears a patchwork robe with numerous folds and his palms are joined in anjali (reverence) mudra. The figure stands on a lotus pedestal.
