A bare-backed man with long dark hair and an orange cloth around his waist stands at left, raising a long strand of yellow beads toward a black stone murti. The murti has a white dhoti-like cloth, a red and yellow headband, a gold necklace and a red-yellow-green garland with white flowers, and it is set within an ornate silver arched frame amid green foliage. This appears to be a puja or abhishekam scene at an outdoor shrine. The bare-backed man appears to be a priest or devotee, and no identity is asserted from appearance.2006-07-23A devotee in white clothes with an orange shawl stands at left, seen from behind, reaching toward a black stone deity murti.
