The central male form wears an orange turban, rich jewelled necklaces and a patterned gold dhoti, holding a trident and other attributes in multiple hands. Beside him a female form wears layered jewellery and a red-and-gold sari. Garlands of white jasmine, yellow marigold and red flowers hang across both figures. Below, a green-draped seated figure with rudraksha beads and a green turban receives the garlands, with the shrine's flowers and a folded green cloth in the foreground. A deity murti and devotional offerings dominate; no living people are clearly visible except a partially visible person at the far left edge.2011-06-24A photograph of a temple shrine with a gilded arched frame and turquoise drapery. Two large painted deity murti sit side by side on a pink-draped platform: the figure on the left holds a staff and wears an orange turban and red-and-white garlands, and the figure on the right wears a gold crown, black-and-gold garment and red garland. In front of them, a kneeling figure in a red robe and red turban bows before a tall golden kalasha-like pillar decorated with garlands. Brass oil lamps stand at both sides, and brass bowls sit on the floor in front. No living people are visible apart from the small kneeling figure, which appears to be a statue or doll.2011-08-28 +1 copiesSeptember 18 20112011-09-18A photograph of a devotional murti group in a temple shrine.
