February 09 20122012-02-09A figure in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, seen from behind with long dark hair and a white pearl-like ornament, stands on a platform beside a gilded deity murti. The murti wears a golden crown, red and gold silk garments, and garlands of red and yellow flowers, with a hand placed on its shoulder. In the foreground is a silver hooded snake-canopied shivalinga-style base with a golden face and gemstone-studded arch above, draped in red and orange garlands. Behind them stands an ornate gold arch with gold-draped curtains. Appearance-based cues are not sufficient to name the figure, so the figure is described by role as a priest performing an abhishekam-style offering.2013-03-07February 09 20122012-02-09January 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesA seated man in an orange saffron wrap and a gold bead necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and gold trident-topped armrests.
