Long garlands of white flowers with magenta blossoms drape over the shoulders, and a rudraksha mala of dark beads hangs at the chest. Layers of gold armlets and a pearl-studded collar adorn the figure. Behind it are pink sequined cloth and gold-toned panels, with a small brass lamp stand at lower left. No living people are visible.2016-10-29October 29 20162016-10-29A decorated deity murti, not a living person, is the main subject: a dark stone figure dressed in an orange and gold-bordered cloth wrapped as a turban-like crown, topped with a red rose. A golden multi-hooded serpent canopy with five green-jewelled hoods arches overhead. The figure wears a white and gold sash, a jewelled gold band with diamond-like stones, a red-and-green jewelled pendant, and a long rudraksha mala draped across the chest. Thick white jasmine garlands and red flower garlands frame the figure, and a gold kalasha-style ornament sits at the base. Blurred pink fabric and gold decor fill the background.2012-04-26January 04 20172017-01-04 +1 copiesNovember 27 20112011-11-27 +1 copiesClose photo of a Shiva lingam dressed for worship, wrapped in a red and gold cloth with a jewelled silver-white band across its front and a red stone set in the centre.
