Behind him a deity murti with a crown and multiple arms rests on a gold-trimmed seat, a trident stands at the left, and a golden cow-shaped object sits at the lower right. Brass lamp stands flank the scene. The seated figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person given the distinctive orange ornate clothing and long beaded necklace, though this is uncertain; he is shown as a costumed figure in a staged tableau rather than a clear real-world event.2017-04-30 +1 copiesA seated figure in a saffron-brown robe with a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklaces sits cross-legged on a raised dais before a large golden throne-like structure.

Ornately carved gold panels frame the scene under dark red drapery.2017-04-30 +2 copiesA seated man in a saffron-brown robe with a rudraksha mala and a long necklace sits in front of an ornate golden shrine-like stage.

Centre, a figure seated on a golden throne-like dais with a large golden arch, flanked by a carved golden structure; the seated figure in the back wears a crown and ornate jewelled adornments. In front, a bare-chested sculpted figure in a brown-orange cloth wrap sits with a trident-like staff beside him and a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklaces, one hand resting on a golden ornamental animal figure. Brass oil lamps and a golden kalasha-style vessel stand nearby. The figures appear to be sculpted or tableau figures rather than living people, so no physical people are counted. The figure at front is a statue-like depiction with distinctive adornments and a rudraksha mala, but identity is uncertain.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +2 copies
