The statue has its right palm raised in blessing and left hand open at the side, seated on a throne draped with garlands of yellow, purple, orange and green flowers, with a gold-beaded garland hanging to the right. This is a statue, not a living person, so the a person field is depiction only if the figure is a recognized likeness; here appearance-based cues are a turban, saffron-red clothing, rudraksha-style beads and ceremonial gold necklaces, so this is a probable depiction of a person shown as a statue on a flower-adorned throne.2015-02-17 +1 copiesMay 20 20132013-05-20A smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests, wearing a rust-red turban with a small white ornament, rust-red robes, a long rudraksha mala and a pink-and-white jasmine garland with silver accents.
