A temple shrine photograph showing a central deity murti seated on a throne-like dais, framed by a large arch of yellow marigold garlands and red-and-white striped flower garlands. The central deity figure wears a red-and-gold garment and a tall ornate crown, with a jewelled necklace, and holds a raised hand. Flanking figures stand on either side, each draped in garlands and beaded necklaces, with one wearing a red headdress and the other a tall dark cap and tiger-striped shawl. In front, a brass pot-shaped object, possibly a kalasha, sits within a green-and-white garland, surrounded by brass oil lamps, flower petals and a small brass vessel. The statues are glossy and gilded. The scene is a deity display in a temple sanctum; no living people are visible.2015-07-07July 07 20152015-07-07November 25 20152015-11-25 +1 copiesJuly 07 20152015-07-07July 07 20152015-07-07A dimly lit temple shrine with a central group of deity murtis, flanked by garlands of red and yellow flowers.
