The narrative in the relief depicted above is rarely encountered in Gandharan art. It depicts two episodes of the story of Prince Siddhartha’s presence at a wedding where he wishes to prove his power and courage by killing a white elephant. His cousin and rival Devadatta is renowned for being extremely strong and desiring to out-maneuver the Prince, Devadata kills the elephant upon which Prince Siddhartha then tosses the dead elephant out of the city, hereby blocking the entrance to the city.
