June 07 20102010-06-07A photograph of a life-sized figure seated on a golden throne, its head and shoulders covered with an orange turban and a golden crown-like headdress with green gem drops. The figure wears a dark garment, multiple rudraksha mala strands, a ceremonial gold and jewelled necklace, and a jewelled tiered collar. Large garlands of red roses, yellow roses and yellow marigolds drape the figure and throne, and a purple brocade cloth covers the table. A brass oil lamp stands in the foreground, with a gold-trimmed red and orange cloth at left. The figure is a statue or effigy rather than a living person, so no physical person is visible.2011-10-14A golden ornate throne (peetha) with a five-headed naga-hood style canopy topped with gilded carved finials and hanging green stone pendants.

Heavy garlands of red and white roses cascade down the figure's body and across the throne, interspersed with large rudraksha beads. Green foliage is tucked behind the garlands.
