White jasmine garlands, magenta flower strands and a dense dark rudraksha mala with gold beads hang across the figure, with gold ornaments and jeweled armlets visible. Gold and green-tinted earrings or pendants dangle from the top, and a gold girdle with bells sits below. The figure is a statue or murti, not a living person, and the scene is a temple setting with a blurred background.2011-11-25June 11 20132013-06-11 +1 copiesJune 11 20132013-06-11A golden ornate throne (peetha) with a five-headed naga-hood style canopy topped with gilded carved finials and hanging green stone pendants. Seated on it is a figure draped in an orange and gold-bordered cloth, with a shaved or covered head, wearing a diamond-studded armlet and a jewelled clasp. Heavy garlands of red and white roses cascade down the figure's body and across the throne, interspersed with large rudraksha beads. Green foliage is tucked behind the garlands. A green silk curtain hangs at the left edge and a blurred green tree background is visible at right. The figure's face is not visible.2011-08-04 +1 copiesJune 12 20132013-06-12August 18 20112011-08-18March 16 20202020-03-16 +2 copies
