A golden cobra hood with five green glass pendants rises behind the figure. The murti wears a dark maroon cloth wrapped on its head, a diamond-studded necklace, golden armbands and bangles, and garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves. The murti is draped in a green silk garment with gold border. Ornate golden decoration frames the shrine.2017-08-02A 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.2008-10-04
