On the right, a man in a rust-orange dhoti and matching shawl wears a white flower garland with red and green ribbon accents, a large gold pendant necklace and gold bangles. He smiles and extends one arm toward dark stone statues on the left, one of which shows a seated deity with a raised arm. He holds a flat wooden or brass plate in his other hand. Coloured streamers hang among the branches above. The figure has shoulder-length dark hair; the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as devotee and the identity is marked unsure.2015-02-05February 05 20152015-02-05
