Behind him, a white and red seated statue of a sage with raised hand sits on a raised platform, beside a dark murti decorated with a silver-trimmed face and marigold garlands with purple and yellow flowers, and brass oil lamps. A red fabric hangs at right and a stone pillar with carved figures stands at left. The lone person is visible and no identifiable a person is confirmed by appearance, so no name is attributed to him.2011-01-31A person in an orange sleeveless robe with long dark hair bends forward at the stone base of a shrine, one hand pressed to the granite ledge in reverence. Beside them, a white marble seated figure wearing a pink dhoti-style garment with a gold border, a pink head cloth and a pearl-like necklace sits within a golden canopy hung with red and yellow marigold garlands.
