Layered silver and pearl necklaces, a jewelled belt and gold armlets adorn the figure, which holds one gold hand near the chest. The setting is a decorated shrine with a gold arched canopy above. The figure is a statue, not a living person, and a blurred green leaf fills the lower foreground.2015-06-03May 30 20182018-05-30May 27 20132013-05-27 +1 copiesA decorated brass kalasha pot with a mango-leaf and coconut-fibre top stands at the centre, draped with layered gold and pearl necklaces, a red rose garland and white flower garlands.
