Before the birth of the Prince Siddhartha, his mother Mahamaya or Maya devi had a dream in which she dreamt of a white elephant entering her womb.  In sculpture, this theme is presented by a lady asleep on a couch with an elephant hovering over her. This panel, depicts the bed chamber of queen Maya Devi flanked by vaulted corridors, and supported on Persepolitan pillars. The queen is asleep on a furnished couch, her head raised on a high pillow. From the circular slab the Bodhisattva descending in the form of an elephant is seen.
