介绍（中）	这种壮观的彩绘纺织品（kalamkari）长超过十八英尺，根据目前的证据，似乎是专门为出口到东南亚岛屿而生产的。迄今为止，在印度尼西亚发现了所有例子。这种类型的耆那教图画布在印度没有记录，但它们可能开始为耆那教寺庙服务，作为庆祝Paryushana和其他节日期间展示的帷幔。在这种情况下，它们本来是为了描绘在因陀罗的天堂（吉纳斯居住的天堂）表演的天堂艺人（apsaras）。在圣像仪式的安装中，这些合奏被确定为dikkumari，即参加马哈维亚出生的天体女仆。中世纪耆那教绘画的特征在这里保存完好，表明古吉拉特邦纺织业中心艾哈迈达巴德和坎贝的绘画工作室和kalamkari工作室共享技能。
介绍（英）	This spectacular painted textile (kalamkari), more than eighteen feet long, was produced exclusively, it would seem on current evidence, for export to island Southeast Asia. To date, all examples have been found in Indonesia. Jain pictorial cloths of this type are not recorded in India, but they probably began their existence serving Jain temples as hangings displayed during the celebration of Paryushana and other festivals. In such contexts they would have been intended to depict the heavenly entertainers (apsaras), who perform in Indra's heaven, where the jinas reside. In the installation of icon ceremonies, these ensembles are identified as the dikkumari, celestial maids who attend Mahavira's birth. The conventions that characterize medieval Jain painting are well preserved here, suggesting shared skills across the painting ateliers and kalamkari workshops of Ahmedabad and Cambay, the centers of Gujarat's textile industry.
