Three deity murtis stand on a yellow satin-draped platform, garlanded with white jasmine and pink and red flowers; the central figure wears a crown and a white dhoti with gold border, and the flanking figures wear jewelled necklaces. In the foreground a shaven-headed person in a rust-red robe and gold-threaded cloth sits on a carved wooden stool with a leopard-print cushion, hands pressed together in prayer near a flower-covered object. Rose petals are scattered on the floor. A seated person in a red robe with a gold-coloured neck mala performs devotion before the murtis, while garlanded offerings and a small brass vessel lie nearby. Possibly a puja or darshan setting; the seated figure's identity is not established from appearance.2014-06-29 +1 copies
