In the background are green leaves, a clay pot, a green-and-gold deity murti draped in flowers, and seated devotees in white.

The seated figure wears a maroon turban and saffron-maroon robe, with a long garland of yellow, white and red flowers around the neck and a red-and-yellow flower garland across the lap.

Only the devotee is a physical person in the frame.2018-12-30 +2 copiesJuly 31 20152015-07-31
