Multiple layers of brown rudraksha-style beads hang across the chest and waist. Long garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves drape down both sides. A pale turquoise satin backdrop with a sparkling pattern stands behind, and a bull carving appears at the base. The statue is a deity murti, not a living person, so no physical people are present.2013-04-17 +2 copiesClose-up of a black stone deity murti with a dark carved face, wearing a purple and gold headcloth with a jeweled ornament at the forehead. It is adorned with layered garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and white flowers, a dense brown rudraksha-style bead necklace and a heavy gold necklace set with multicoloured stones. The murti holds a trident-like staff in one hand and a drum-like object in the other, with the palm folded in front. A turquoise sequined backdrop sits behind it. No physical people are visible.2013-10-03A dark stone murti of a four-armed deity, adorned for worship.

Thick garlands of red roses and yellow marigolds drape over both shoulders. The upper hands hold a ceremonial drum-like implement and a flame-shaped object, while a lower hand is raised in blessing. A turquoise drape forms the background.2016-06-15A dark stone statue of a deity murti dominates the frame, adorned with yellow and red marigold and rose garlands, white flower strands, and multiple rudraksha malas across the chest. The head wears an orange and maroon turban with a red bindi, and the statue wears a teal and gold-bordered silk garment. Raised hands hold ritual objects, and a green gold-patterned cloth forms the backdrop. No physical people are visible; the figure is a sculpted statue, so a person is none.2013-09-30October 12 20172017-10-12April 18 20132013-04-18A black stone deity murti seated in an ornate silver arch against a teal drape.
