Cave XV. has a verandah 30 feet by 6 feet 6 inches; but the front, which was supported by two columns and two pilasters, has fallen away. The pillars had a torus and fillet at the base, with an octagon above, changing to 16 sides, and then to 32 flutes. The architrave of the door is plain, and simpler than in Cave VII; but the pillars beyond it are carved. A dagoba on the lintel is protected by Naga hoods, and four birds occur in low relief on the upper member of the frieze. The hall has no columns, and is nearly 34 feet square and 10 feet 2 inches high. It has four cells on each side, and one at either end of the verandah. The antechamber has two plain pilasters in front; and has two pillars with square bases, and octagonal and 16-sided shafts, which return again through the octagon to square heads. The shrine stands against the wall, and is of the very earliest type, without attendants, but gandharvas are seen above. It consists of an image of Buddha, with feet turned up, squatting on a lion-throne, which has only the wheel and lions in front. A figure of Buddha is carved with attendants, in two pieces in the hall to the left of the antechamber. The roof of the antechamber has a fragment of painting.
