Nearby, a woman in a white sari sits with hands together in prayer, and others wear green, pink, maroon and lavender clothing. Small brass oil lamps and offering plates with red and orange cloths lie on the floor in front. Behind them, children and more adults fill the room, and a gilded throne-like seat and red curtains stand at the back. No individual is identifiable as a person from appearance, and the scene shows devotees rather than a clear presiding figure.2012-05-12April 04 20122012-04-04 +1 copiesDecember 30 20112011-12-30
