Seated on the throne is a smiling figure in an orange-red turban and saffron-orange garment, wearing a large yellow and green garland and raising a hand in blessing; the figure presents as a person, supported by the orange robe and turban and the throne setting, though the appearance is only moderately clear. In front is a red cloth covered with banana leaves and dozens of offerings: laddus, savouries, fried snacks, sweets, dal and grains in small steel bowls, and fruit. A brass oil lamp stands at the right edge, consistent with a Jayanthi celebration offering of naivedyam.2022-12-19 +1 copiesNaivedyam offering display in a decorated room.
