THE NATIVITY SCULPTURE
The
image of Maya Devi, also known as the Nativity Sculpture dates back to
4th CE, which depicts the nativity scene, Maya Devi, holding a branch of
a tree with her right hand for support in the time of her delivery.
Next to her Gautami Prajapati, her younger sister, in supporting posture
is standing. The newly born prince Siddhartha is standing upright on a
lotus pedestal, with two celestial figures receiving him.
