A very similar heavily embroidered wall hanging is in the CSMVS Museum (ex Prince of Wales Museum), Mumbai. It is attributed there to Gujarat, probably Surat and dated to the 19th century (Pratapaditya Pal, The Peaceful Liberators, Jain Art from India, exhibition catalogue, Hong Kong, 1994, cat.110, pp.244-245). These hangings, known as chod, are used as ornamental backdrop to the main divinity image in a home shrine. They are usually matched with a square canopy used of the head of the Jina. According to Pal, ‘Jain devotees commission such sets generally at Surat, particularly at the celebration of the end of the forty-eight-day fast’.
