The person has long dark wavy hair and wears a saffron-orange draped garment with maroon borders, wrapped in a dhoti-style lower cloth. They face a granite offering counter carved with ornamental motifs, on which sit brass vessels including a kalasha-style pot, brass lamps and bowls, a plate of sweets, and folded orange cloths. Orange curtains hang at the left and right edges, and orange-walled buildings with tiled roofs appear in the background. The setting suggests a puja or padapuja at the counter.2011-02-13November 09 20072007-11-09November 09 20072007-11-09
