A standing figure. The figure wears a gold crown, red and gold silk garments, layered gold necklaces, bangles and a red bindi, and holds a long golden staff with a leaf-shaped finial. Hanging brass oil lamps and a tiered row of lit lamps glow in the dark background. The figure's stance and adornments resemble a deity murti rather than a visible living person, so no identification is made.

April 24 20122012-04-24A photograph of a standing figure framed by an ornate gilded arch decorated with red and white flower garlands. The figure wears a gold crown, red silk garment with gold borders, a white dhoti-style cloth, multiple red and gold beaded necklaces, bangles and armlets, and holds a tall gold staff with a decorative finial. Lit oil lamps hang at the upper left and a tiered cluster of glowing lamps stands at right against a dark background.
