The left vessel is gold-coloured with a pointed finial, the right one covered in silver and white embellishment with a pink gemstone at its centre. Both are draped with white jasmine garlands and red-and-white floral strands. A brass rod with a decorative finial lies across the tray. Behind them, ornate garlands, a green and pink silk garment and a partially visible white-clad arm and tray-holding hand suggest a ritual setting, possibly alankaram or abhishekam preparation. Ornate carved wooden furniture is at the right edge.2024-11-09September 27 20172017-09-27 +1 copiesA man in a rust-red dhoti and shawl with a gold ornamental necklace, a rudraksha-style mala and a flower garland stands at left beside a red-and-gold throne-like chair, smiling and gesturing toward a decorated altar. On the altar stand three deity murtis: a small figure in a red-brown cloth, and two larger figures in silver crowns and jewelled garments, all wreathed with yellow, red and white flower garlands. In the foreground are brass vessels, kalashas, flower arrangements of white and pink blooms, and sticks of incense on a purple cloth. The wall is tiled in warm beige and a ceiling fan is visible.
