Garlands of yellow, orange and purple flowers hang across the scene. In front, a seated figure in white and saffron-orange robes sits on a white-draped throne with a gold mandap-style canopy, with a red-and-gold cloth on the seat.

Both are garlanded with yellow and red-pink flower garlands. In front, a seated figure wears a white dhoti and a blue shawl with a gold chain, a red-orange turban, and hands folded near the chest, with a flower garland draped over the seat. Tall brass oil lamps stand on either side, and brass vessels and a small offering plate sit on the stone platform.

A seated white-robed figure in a blue shawl with a crown-like headpiece sits in front, its hand raised to the face, and a white cloth is draped over the platform. Long garlands of yellow and purple flowers hang from the deities. Tall brass oil lamps stand at both sides, with a brass kalasha and small offering vessels on the platform. The setting suggests a puja or abhishekam arrangement in a temple sanctum.2010-09-15
