The figure wears a multi-stranded gold crown with ornate headpiece, large gold and green earrings, a diamond-studded gold choker, and a gold necklace. Thick garlands of yellow marigolds, red flowers, white jasmine and purple blooms with green leaves drape the figure on both sides. Orange and gold fabric wraps the body, and a white draped table sits below. Behind, a seated figure in orange robes and yellow cloth is partly visible at the edges.2010-12-31A seated figure on an ornate golden throne is decorated with thick garlands of yellow marigolds and red flowers draped over the shoulders and arms. The figure wears an orange and maroon turban topped with a green leafy crown, a white garment, a multi-strand gold necklace of beads, a jewelled diamond-studded headpiece, and a gold waist ornament. The face is covered by the turban and garments, so no features are visible. A large white cloth lies in the foreground. Behind the throne are gilded panels and sculpted golden details. The setting suggests a ceremonial procession or darshan, with the seated figure presented as a deity murti or honoured person in jewelled regalia, though whether this is a living person or a statue cannot be determined.2008-10-04A photograph of a deity murti or stone form dressed for worship, heavily adorned with layered garlands of yellow marigold, red and white flowers, and green leaves draped over its body.
