The murti wears a green and red turban with a jewelled crown, a red and orange sash, a jewelled necklace and earrings, and holds a trident, a damaru-like drum and a sword-like staff. Its right palm is raised in blessing, covered in pink and green jewelled circular patterns. Yellow and purple marigold garlands hang at its sides.2011-12-31Photo 11690430A gilded figure seated cross-legged on a layered throne-like seat with a red velvet cushion and a silver-studded base, framed by an ornate gold arch topped with a decorative kirtimukha-style ornament. Garlands of white jasmine and red roses with green leaves surround the arch. The figure wears a maroon turban adorned with a jewelled crescent and brooch, a red velvet jacket with heavy silver and jewelled necklaces, and a maroon dhoti. Gold hands rest in a meditative pose, and a gold trident-shaped ornament stands at the right. This appears to be a statue or murti rather than a living person, shown in a shrine setting.2019-01-06October 21 20182018-10-21October 21 20182018-10-21August 18 20182018-08-18A Shiva murti, a deity figure with a silver-toned face, red lips and a tilak, is dressed in a white dhoti with gold borders and a white head-wrap with gold stripes.
