Several murtis sit on a red cloth, one ornately jewelled and crowned, with a smaller figure wearing a golden crown beside them. In the foreground, large silver and steel plates hold fruits, sweets, flatbreads and banana leaves. To the right, a small seated figure in a red-and-cream outfit with a red headpiece sits on a gilded throne with a lion-shaped armrest, under a maroon curtain. A brass lamp stands nearby. No living people are visible.2013-11-02November 02 20132013-11-02A temple-style hall with a shrine altar holding several deity murtis, golden arches and an ornate multicoloured canopy over a throne-like seat. A woman in an orange sari kneels before the central seat, tending to a wrapped bundle and offerings, while a woman in a white sari with a gold border stands at left near a row of small brass figures. Floor tables are laden with fruit, sweets, nuts, bananas, and small bowls of food on red and pink cloths, with brass oil lamps standing nearby. A woman in a green sari sits at the far left edge. Garlands of red flowers drape the deity forms. The scene shows a puja offering in progress. The orange-clad figure is a person visible at the altar, and no candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance, so a person is unsure. Four people are visible.2011-04-20April 20 20112011-04-20
