Photograph of a shrine at Aadikailaasa, Bengaluru, dominated by a large golden statue of a four-armed deity with a trident and orange turban, wearing layered silver necklaces and a blue and pink dhoti, standing beside a golden-clad female figure in a pink sari with garlands. Below them, a seated figure in an orange robe and orange headwear sits on a white-draped platform; this is a statue, not a physical person. Flower garlands in red, yellow, white and orange hang across the platform, with brass oil lamps on either side and a red curtain behind. A small brass lamp and a figure in a rose-coloured costume stand at the right edge. The seated figure is a statue and no physical people are visible in the scene.2008-02-13February 14 20082008-02-14A photograph of a Hindu temple shrine showing a pair of gold-coloured deity murti seated on a raised platform under a stone pavilion with red velvet drapes.
