April 30 20122012-04-30Two gilded deity murtis are seated side by side on a decorated palanquin or ratha, framed by dense garlands of red, orange, yellow and white flowers and gold-embroidered panels with lotus motifs. The figure on the left wears a red and orange turban, white dhoti, a red sash, and layered gold necklaces with red stones. The figure on the right wears a crown, a white dhoti, and heavy jewelled necklaces and earrings in green and red gems. No living people are visible; the figures are statues, so no a person candidate is present.2012-04-26May 07 20172017-05-07A temple-style ceremonial stage shows three decorated murti figures seated on a crimson-draped throne under a gold arched canopy with green brocade backdrop. The central figure wears an orange-gold cloth, a gold crown and heavy jewelled necklaces, and holds a gold vessel; the figures on either side wear crowns, jewelled necklaces and red-and-gold garments, with garlands of yellow, white, red and purple flowers draped across the throne. Two standing male attendants flank the throne: the one on the left wears white headwear, a red garland and red dhoti, while the one on the right wears an orange turban, a multi-colour garland and pink-red clothing. A silver bowl sits in the lower left foreground.
