The murti is a richly decorated female figure in a blue blouse and jewelled silver crown, draped in a green and yellow silk sari with white flower garlands in red and orange. Behind them stand a golden throne-like backrest, a green cloth, a tall painted figure with a sword and orange clothing, and a turquoise wall. He appears to be placing flowers or sacred powder on the murti during a puja. One physical person is visible.2013-05-12April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesMay 22 20162016-05-22A ceremonial puja at an ashram stage with a golden throne-like seat (peetha) draped in multicolour marigold and rose garlands, holding a figure in red and orange robes, a crown and a rudraksha-style necklace; the figure is a sculpted or framed image rather than a living person. In front, a kalasha pot wrapped in white cloth and garlanded with marigolds and red flowers sits on a gold base. On the left, a standing figure in an orange-red shawl over a white garland holds a tall brass oil lamp (aarti) with raised hands. A seated attendant in red-orange robes with a bare chest and glasses kneels nearby with folded hands. A gold oil lamp stands on the right beside a red velvet-draped seat, and a dark maroon curtain forms the backdrop.2015-06-02December 27 20092009-12-27March 03 20112011-03-03April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copies
