The figure wears an orange and maroon turban topped with a green leafy crown, a white garment, a multi-strand gold necklace of beads, a jewelled diamond-studded headpiece, and a gold waist ornament. The face is covered by the turban and garments, so no features are visible. A large white cloth lies in the foreground. Behind the throne are gilded panels and sculpted golden details. The setting suggests a ceremonial procession or darshan, with the seated figure presented as a deity murti or honoured person in jewelled regalia, though whether this is a living person or a statue cannot be determined.2008-10-04July 20 20102010-07-20A deity murti seated under a golden cobra hood with five golden serpent heads and green stone pendants hanging from the hood.
