In each panel, several people in saffron and orange robes pour water and milk from silver vessels over the murtis, and one figure in an orange garment stands at the centre holding a kalasha-like pot. Small white stone sculptures sit on the shrine platform, and brass oil lamps stand at the sides. The panels show the same ritual from different angles, with a white cloth-wrapped linga-like object and offerings visible on the platform.2010-02-12January 14 20122012-01-14December 24 20112011-12-24
