This relief lies on the lowest walls and depicts the dream that Buddha's mother had when Buddha was conceived. She dreamt that a white elephant carrying a white lotus entered her womb. The upper panel (as with most of the thousands of panels covering Borobudur) depicts the gods watching buddha enter the world, while the lower panel depicts the world itself.
