Among them a fine quality image of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 Candraprabha is noticed in the Durga temple of Bansgarh, Purulia. Candraprabha (Pl.XXV.B), the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 stands in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on a double-pettaled lotus placed on a triratha pedestal. The centre of the pedestal is adorned with the 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 of Candraprabha i.e., the crescent moon which is flanked by a male and a female devotee kneeling in 苍补尘补蝉办腻谤补-尘耻诲谤腻. Both the corners of this pedestal are decorated with two crouching. This is a 辫补帽肠补-迟墨谤迟丑颈办补 type of image. The egge of the back-slab is relieved with miniature figures of four Jinas in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture, two in either side of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补. The important aspect of this image is except the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补, the artist has also depicted the 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 Candraprabha as one of the four miniature Jina present in the lower left side of the main image. The other miniatures 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 are 峁氠梗补产丑补苍腻迟丑补, 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补 and 础箩颈迟补苍腻迟丑补. Their respective 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 is carved on the small pedestal placed below them. The facial portion of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 is partially defaced. The Jina has elongated ear-lobes and his hair is arranged in schematic curls with a prominent 耻峁ａ箛墨峁�a. An ovoidal 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 with leafed edges adorns the head of the Saviour. Above the 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 is a damaged tri-linear chatra flanked by disembodied hands playing on musical instruments and two 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 holding long garlands. The back of the throne consists of posts decorated with mouldings and criss-cross scratched pilasters, supporting a horizontal cross-bar with lightly incised square rhizomes at its ends, above which there are triangular foliated plaques. The deity is flanked by two attendants who are sparsely clad and elegantly jewelled. Their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture and the right hands hold flywhisks. The image measures 47 x 25 x 10 cm.

The site Lakhra also possesses a fine quality image of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 Candraprabha, which is a 辫补帽肠补-tirthika type of image. The Jain (Pl.XXV.C) in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on a double-petalled lotus is placed on a 辫补帽肠补-ratha pedestal. The image is made of chlorite stone and measures 84 x 38 x 15 cm.The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 is flanked by two male 肠补奴谤颈-bearers standing in 腻产丑补峁単补 posture on their respective pedestals and their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture and the right hands hold fly-whisks. They are wearing short almost transparent lower garments and simple ornaments including armlets, wristlets and ekavali. The back-slab also depicts four miniature Jinas standing in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on double-petalled pedestals, two on either side of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补. The finely carved 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 bears a svelte figure, a lucid expression and the yogic or spiritual power is successfully reflected. The arms of the Jina hang down vertically along the stiff torso and the finger tips touch the thigh on either side. The tri-linear chatra is present above the head of the Jina. The 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 is flanked on both sides by disembodied hands playing on drums and a 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补 holding long garlands and hovering in the clouds. The central projection of the pedestal depicts the 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 of Candraprabha, the crescent moon; below is a pair of lions facing opposite directions, flanked by two figures of devotees (one on either side) in namask膩ra尘耻诲谤腻. Stylistically, the image reflects the trends apparent from the Jina icons from Pakbirra.

Two 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 images and broken fragments of Jain icons are presently worshipped in the Dharma temple of Sakra/Sankra. Among the two images one is that of Candraprabha (Pl.XXV.D), about one and a half feet in height. The upper portion of the back-slab of the image is partially damaged. The Jina is attended by two male 肠补奴谤颈-bearers wearing succinct lower garments and different ornaments. They stand in 腻产丑补峁単补 posture on pedestals and their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture while the right hands hold fly-whisks. The Jina figure is flanked by pillar like structural appendages surmounted by triangular entities. Most probably this is a 辫补帽肠补-迟墨谤迟丑颈办补 type of image. The broken back-slab reveals only two miniature 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补s. This icon has a 辫补帽肠补-ratha pedestal at the centre of which is the depiction of the crescent moon 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补.

A damaged image (Pl.XXV.E) of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 Candraprabha (53 cm x 37 cm x 14 cm) is recorded from the site Baramoshya. This image is broken in two parts i.e. the upper portion including the head of the Jina and the body portion. The Jina is in the usual posture on a double-petalled lotus placed on a 辫补帽肠补-ratha pedestal. The male 肠补奴谤颈-bearers flanking the Jina wear deeply incised loin cloths and elaborate jewellery. They standing in 迟谤颈-产丑补峁単补 posture and their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture while their right hands hold a fly-whisk. The present image is a 辫补帽肠补-迟墨谤迟丑颈办补 type of image and both the side of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 four figure of miniature Jinas in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture are depicted (two on the each side). Their respective 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 is carved on the small pedestal placed below them, but due to the abrasion none of these are recognizable. The 辫补帽肠补-ratha pedestal of this image is decorated with a crescent moon at the centre flanked by two crouching lions. The head portion of this image is badly damaged and it shows that an ovoidal 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 embellished with rows of lines at the edge has been carved behind the head of the Jina. Above it is a tri-linear chatra, partially smashed, and flanked by 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补 holding a long garland and a cymbals struck by disembodied hand.

The well known archaeological site of Pakbirra possesses three images of this 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补. Among them one is a 辫补帽肠补-tirthika type of image (Bhattacharyya, Mitra & Bhowmick 1986: 152) and unfortunately present location of this image is not known. According to the earlier report the image measures 51 cm x 28 cm x 8 cm and the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 standing in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on a double-petalled lotus placed on a tri-ratha pedestal. At the centre of the pedestal the 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 of the Jina i.e. a crescent moon is depict between the two crouching lions. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 is flanked by two male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers standing in 腻产丑补峁単补 posture on their respective pedestals and their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture and the right hands hold the flywhisk. An elliptical 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 with dotted border adorns the head of the Saviour. On both side of the 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 is decorated with the figures of 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 holding long garlands. The chatra above the head of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 is badly damaged.

The Candraprabha image from Harmasra is made of greyish stone and measures 43 cm x 25 cm. In this image the Jina stands in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 pose on a double-petalled lotus under a multi-tiered chatra. He has elongated ears and his hair is arranged in stylized curls with an 耻峁ａ箛墨峁�a. There are male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers flanking the Jina at the lower corners of the pedestal. The twin 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 are seen at the top of the stele. The central projection of the tri-ratha pedestal bears the crescent 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补. On the edge of the semi-rectangular back-slab are the four miniature figures of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补s arranged in pairs on each side of the Jina.
