Kartikeya (Murugan), Hindu god of war, with attendants
A six-faced, many-armed deity sits cross-legged at the center of a gold-rimmed jeweled halo on a painted platform, with a red garment and gold ornaments. Two female attendants in red skirts and tall headdresses stand on either side, and a handwritten label lies beneath the painted panel.
