English: The Dīpaṁkara Jātaka is one of the best-known jātakas of the Buddha. In a remote past eon Śākyamuni was born as a Brahman youth called Megha. The king at that time monopolized the flower market in order to offer all flowers to Buddha Dīpaṁkara himself. Yet Megha managed to find some flowers and offered them to Dīpaṁkara. In addition, when Dīpaṁkara was about to pass a muddy road, Megha unfurled his hair onto the mud for the Buddha to step on. Having received these offerings from Megha, Dīpaṁkara predicted for the young Brahmin a future Buddhahood. ... In this painting from Bezeklik (Figure 9), on the right side of Dīpaṁkara Buddha, Megha is shown standing holding flowers in his hands and he is shown again kneeling down laying his hair under the feet of Dīpaṁkara. The most recognizable exclusive attribute of this painting for identification is the hair.
