A bare-chested priest in a green sash and white dhoti stands at left, holding a lit lamp or camphor flame toward the deities. Two seated men sit on a red-cushioned bench in front of a richly decorated throne: the man in the middle wears a green and gold turban and white dhoti with a white garland, and the man at right wears a tall gold-and-white headdress, white dhoti with blue border, a golden shawl and a white garland. Behind them, a central deity murti is dressed in a red and gold garment, draped with yellow and white marigold garlands. Brass lamps, a multicoloured canopy with tassels, golden ornamental arches and a jewelled silver-and-gem ornament at right complete the scene. The figure in the central throne area wears a crown with a tall head ornament and adornments; the identity of the seated men is not established by visible cues.2016-03-27April 29 20122012-04-29 +2 copiesDecember 25 20132013-12-25Photo 11734660May 10 20142014-05-10June 03 20122012-06-03 +1 copies
