The seated person has long dark hair, a red bindi, a dark sparkly top, and a multicoloured garland with white flowers. The throne is decorated with white, yellow and red garlands and a gold deity emblem. Behind them are printed backdrop figures of standing men on blue pedestals and an orange cloth. A woman in an orange shawl appears at the right edge. The seated figure is smiling and raising one hand. The seated person's appearance shows several cues such as long hair, a bindi and a garland on the throne, so this is a person seated in person, while the devotee is an unnamed person.2006-12-28December 22 20102010-12-22
