A man in a saffron-orange robe with an ornate gold-patterned crown sits on the left, raising his hand toward the murti in an offering gesture, with a brass vessel on the ground in front. A second man in white dhoti and a red-bordered shawl kneels on the right with palms pressed together in prayer. A third person sits partly visible at the far left edge. The appearance of the crowned figure in saffron is a person candidate, identified by the saffron robe, crown and seated ceremonial posture, but the face is not clearly visible.2010-11-23October 04 20112011-10-04
