Indra (Jeseok) and his attendants

In the Buddhist tradition, the Hindu deities Indra and Brahma (Jeseok and Beomcheon) protect the Buddha and his teachings. In this painting, Indra appears in the center like a king on his throne, wearing a heavily decorated crown while Brahma is not shown. On each side are celestial beings representing the sun and moon in official attire, and heavenly maidens. The inscription at the bottom identifies the main subject, date, painters, patrons, and temple that originally housed the painting. It was enshrined in Sansang temple in South Chungcheong province.
