The murti wears a gold and jewelled face mask, a tall crown, layered ornate necklaces, and a green and gold silk garment. The throne is framed by a gilded arch with red, white, yellow and purple flower garlands, a rust-red silk backdrop, a golden lotus-shaped support and a pink lotus flower. The man's wrist shows gold bangles and a rudraksha mala is visible at his neck. Gilt ritual objects and a silver staff are at the left edge. No visible face is sufficient for an appearance-based label, so the a person field is unsure.2012-04-30October 31 20112011-10-31April 14 20132013-04-14A large golden peacock vahana (vehicle) stands on a gold-framed wooden base in front of a deity murti decorated with red, yellow and green flower garlands.

Behind it, silk drapery in purple and maroon with gold borders hangs beneath the garlanded deity. Scattered flower petals lie on the floor. No people are visible in the frame.2010-11-09November 16 20152015-11-16November 16 20152015-11-16
