Leaf from a Jain Manuscript: The Story of Kalakacharya of Devachandra: Text (recto)
Devachandra made delicate drawings on palm-leaf manuscripts in 13th-century India. The pages mix text and tiny scenes of Jain monks teaching wealthy followers. One leaf shows a teacher handing a flower to a king, another labels the same story in careful script.
These leaves were meant to be placed side by side as you read the sacred Kalpa-sutra. Tap “Folio from a Kalpa-sutra and Story of Kalakacharya” to see the two-sided page in full.
