He wears a gold crown with a crescent motif, an orange and gold silk dhoti and matching orange garment, a broad gold collar necklace, layered red beaded malas, gold armlets with yellow tassels, and holds a silver trident in his left hand. Orange sandals rest on the gold-carved footstool. Appearance-based candidate: a person, with the orange robes, crown, trident and heavy garland-decorated throne as cues. The page does not say he is present at this event, so the identity is uncertain.2011-12-17A temple worship scene with two attendants at a decorated deity murti. On the left, a man in an orange dhoti and orange shawl with a sacred ash marking on his arm holds a brass plate. Beside him, a man in a green silk sari-style garment with bangles and a long plait offers a tray toward a large murti draped in layered garlands of yellow, purple and red flowers, with white jasmine strands. A green-robed figure sits in front with a white face, and gold jewellery adorns the deity. Oil lamps stand at the right edge.2011-12-16
