blue-skinned Shri Nathji at center draped in jewelry and wearing the tradition saffron-colored robe, standing within the inner sanctum of a mandir or temple, attended to by priests and Brahmins in saffron robes maintaining a homa or sacred fire, with further images of Shrinathji populating the niches at upper and side registers, the lower registers depicting white bulls and householder scenes

Acquired from the artist Karl Mann, early 1970s; thence by descent. 

Stable overall condition. Creases and wear throughout due to ritual handling and age. The silver pigments throughout have oxidized and now appear gray. The lower 1/3rd of the painting has sustained losses to pigments possibly due to damp. The faces/portraits of the principals at center though are well-defined and in good condition.
