Close-up photograph of a dark stone sculpture of a small reclining figure, a dwarf-like attendant, beneath the feet of a standing deity statue draped in a yellow cloth with gold border. The figure lies on its side with one arm raised, head resting on a stone surface, one foot raised. Small red flower petals lie on the base and a yellow scatter is visible on the ground. No living people are visible. The scene appears to be a temple deity murti rather than a human ritual.
