Before her on a red-draped table sit a silver bowl, a silver kalasha with a spout, a clear crystal lingam on a stand, and a tray of flowers. A silver ornate throne and marigold garlands on a pole frame the scene, with pink-lit draping behind. Evening setting. The appearance-based cues are a rudraksha mala and a red-and-leopard-print wrap, but the image is not clear enough to confirm which person she is, so this is a devotee performing a lamp ritual at a shrine table.2014-05-20 +1 copiesMay 20 20142014-05-20May 20 20142014-05-20 +1 copiesA seated man in an orange-red saffron-toned garment with long dark hair, a red bindi, gold earrings and a white cord, wearing layered rudraksha malas and ornate gold bead necklaces, holds a polished silver kalasha in both hands and gazes down.
