December 27 20152015-12-27Three life-size figures are displayed together against a patterned gold-and-beige wall, all draped with thick garlands of orange marigolds and white flowers. The central figure wears a black crown with a silver crescent moon and a Shiva-linga emblem, heavy silver and jewelled necklaces, and a green-and-gold embroidered shawl over a purple and orange cloth. The figure on the left wears a maroon turban with silver ornament and a rudraksha-style necklace over a green-and-gold wrap. The figure on the right wears an ornate silver-and-jewelled crown and heavy silver necklaces over a teal and gold sari. These appear to be sculpted or murti-style figures rather than living people, and a trident stands behind the central figure.2015-12-27 +1 copiesThree decorated deity murtis stand side by side on a purple draped platform in an indoor hall with cream patterned wall panels.

The central figure wears an orange-red dhoti, a green patterned shawl, a large pearl necklace and a green leaf garland, holding a trident-like staff and raised hand. The figure on the left wears an orange turban, orange robes, a bead necklace and gold chains; the figure on the right wears a pink sari, pearl necklace and a jewelled crown.
