The figure on the left, shown with a trident, wears a red turban with a pearl string and a purple garment, and is draped in red rose garlands. The figure on the right holds a small staff-like implement and wears a red-and-gold crown, pearl necklaces, ornate earrings and a red-and-gold embroidered garment, also draped in red roses. Carved stone architecture is visible at the upper right, and the figures appear to be festival or temple images being worshipped at a shrine.2013-06-22June 22 20132013-06-22 +1 copiesSeptember 19 20112011-09-19Two golden murti statues of deities sit against a red draped curtain framed by ornate gold arch.
