A white marble statue of a seated guru figure is the central subject, shown in a blue-green draped garment with a brown-gold shawl, a maroon-and-gold turban, and a rudraksha mala. The figure raises one hand in blessing. It is garlanded with white jasmine strands, yellow marigolds and red roses, and rests on a wooden plinth. Behind it stands a red and gold throne backdrop with a white cloth draped over it. Brass oil lamps with flower decorations flank the statue, and an open book rests on a wooden stand at the left edge of the frame. The setting appears to be a temple-style hall with a decorated seat for ritual use.2010-10-04October 04 20102010-10-04October 27 20102010-10-27 +1 copiesA white marble seated statue of a guru figure, shown in a blessing pose with its right hand raised, dressed in a dark green silk shawl with gold zari borders and a green turban with a red tilak.
