The figure wears a rudraksha-style bead mala, gold chain, bangles and a gold hoop earring, with a white vertical mark on the forehead. The stone has carved floral relief.

Her gold bangles and waist ornament are visible. On the platform behind her sit brass lamps, a brass kalasha, a small brass vessel and offering plates with yellow flowers. A white-clad priest and other devotees stand behind her near a stone pillar, and a man in white with a drum stands at the upper right. Behind the platform are seated white deity figures draped in red and orange garlands, and an orange wall with red and white stripes forms the backdrop.2010-12-28A person in an orange and gold garment bends low and presses their forehead against the carved stone edge of a temple structure, one hand resting on the stone. Their long dark hair falls forward and they wear multiple strands of rudraksha beads around the neck and arms. The stone has carved floral and scrollwork detail, and red and white painted walls appear in the background. The posture reads as a devotional obeisance at a temple shrine.2011-11-15 +1 copies
