    Maruti Nandan Prasad Tiwari · Jain Journal A Quarterly on Jainology, 1979

    Maruti Nandan Prasad Tiwari · Jain Journal A Quarterly on Jainology, 1975

    “The whole group of Jaina sculptures at Khajuraho, ranging in date from mid-tenth century (954—Parsvanatha Temple) to the twelfth century, is to the credit of the Digam-bara Jaina sect which is indicated by the fact that the Jinas are rendered as sky-clad, the nudity is clearly ascertained in some of the seated figures even where the hands laid in the lap are broken off.”

    Jain Journal A Quarterly on Jainology, 1969
