38. The Mallas Worship the Fortunate One

high-definition creative commons posters depicting The Mallas Worship the Fortunate One together with further information.

The Mallas, the local ruling clan, gather to pay their final respects. To ensure everyone has the opportunity to see him before he passes, the Buddha has Ānanda organize them by family groups rather than individually. This systematic approach allows thousands to pay homage in a single watch of the night. The scene depicts the deep communal respect held for the Buddha and the somber atmosphere as an entire community prepares for his departure.
