A seated figure in orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with tiger-skin cushion and a rudraksha mala draped over the chest, in a temple shrine flanked by two large painted deity murti with four arms and gold jewellery. In front, a kneeling priest in orange dhoti and shawl holds a lit camphor aarti plate toward the throne. Gold bells hang above and oil lamps glow on the right.

A seated figure in saffron-red robes with a pink-and-white flower garland sits on a gilded throne draped with leopard and tiger skins, with a golden crown-shaped canopy and hanging bells above. In the foreground a shaved-headed priest in orange dhoti and orange head cloth, bare-backed, holds a lit flame toward the seated figure. A woman with long dark hair in an orange sari kneels at the base of the throne beside a man in white kurta who bends forward, appearing to offer devotion at the feet. Flanking the scene are painted multi-armed deity murtis in gold and green-pink dress, holding attributes in their hands. Pillars with pink and green lotus capitals frame the shrine. The seated figure appears to be a candidate but identity is uncertain from appearance alone; the page does not mention him.2017-09-12May 13 20132013-05-13 +1 copiesMarch 01 20132013-03-01June 20 20132013-06-20A seated figure in a gilded golden throne with lion armrests and a leopard-print cushion, draped with a tiger-skin cover, wears a rust-orange robe, a pink and white flower garland, and a gold pendant, holding a silver staff. To the left, a standing figure in an orange head cloth and orange robe with long dreadlocked hair raises a lit oil lamp flame toward him. Two painted deity statues with crowns, gold jewellery and green sashes flank the throne, and hanging bells and a rudraksha-style string decorate the shrine. This appears to be a ritual puja in a shrine setting.2017-09-02
