October 16 20132013-10-16A seated figure in a red-and-orange robe with garlands sits at the centre of an elaborately decorated shrine framed by a red canopy hung with marigold and jasmine strands. Beneath the canopy, marigold and rose petals cover the floor, with brass and clay pots, kalasha-like vessels and offerings arranged in front. Spotlight beams fall from above. To the right, a deity murti stands inside a rainbow-arched frame of red, yellow and green flowers, with a brass lamp stand and ornate golden fixtures nearby. The scene suggests a Krishna Janmashtami celebration with flower decoration and offerings.2017-08-14January 03 20152015-01-03July 09 20152015-07-09 +1 copiesDecember 14 20102010-12-14September 30 20172017-09-30November 21 20152015-11-21A decorated shrine scene dominated by a large golden ceremonial structure with a trident-like crown finial, wrapped in dense garlands of white, yellow, red and purple flowers.
