The figure wears a red and gold garment and has a red tilak on the forehead. Behind it are red and blue draped fabrics, pink lotus flowers and a gold-framed backdrop. The figure is a statue, not a living person, so it is not counted as a physical person and a person is depiction only if a person candidate is established; here the figure is a statue with a white head covering rather than the long hair and saffron cues required, so the value is unsure.2016-08-24A gilded metal statue of a standing deity murti, wearing a white and pale-green draped garment, stands within an ornate golden arched throne-like niche with carved makara-style supports. The figure wears layered rudraksha malas, a white and red beaded garland with a heart-shaped pendant, and a tall crown-like headdress, and holds a small ritual object in one hand. Red roses and yellow marigold garlands decorate the surrounding shrine, with rudraksha strands hanging on the niche. No living people are visible; the statue is the sole subject, shown in a puja-decorated setting.2013-10-12May 01 20122012-05-01
