A smiling man in the centre wears an orange-saffron robe, a long gold-beaded necklace, a white and red flower garland and a gold headband, and raises his hands in greeting. Beside him an elderly woman in saffron cloth wears a white and red garland, rudraksha mala and gold pendant. Behind them men in saffron robes and gold chains stand near the doorway, and a bare-chested priest on the left wears rudraksha malas and a white dhoti. The appearance of the central figure with distinctive ceremonial gold necklace, garland and headband is consistent with a person, though the identification is uncertain.2012-05-16 +1 copiesMay 16 20122012-05-16May 16 20122012-05-16 +1 copiesA temple interior scene at a shrine with a metal grille behind.
