This painting is located on the semicircular wall above the doorway to the main chamber. In this scene, the two Bodhisattvas wear headdresses and sit with legs crossed at the ankles and bare feet. The one on the left has light skin and holds a flower platter in the right hand. This Bodhisattva appears to be scattering flowers. The Bodhisattva on the right has dark skin and joins palms at the chest.
