Green, orange and red tassels hang from the poles. At the centre sits a small deity murti dressed in an orange cloth and silver ornaments, surrounded by flowers. Orange cloth and scattered petals lie on the platform in front, with a brass plate and tray. No people are visible.2011-10-30Night photograph of a decorated silver and gold palanquin-style procession vehicle, draped with red, white and yellow flower garlands and multicoloured tassels. Inside a silver arched shrine stands a small deity murti, adorned with a crown and jewelled garments, holding a sceptre-like object, framed by red flower garlands. A golden umbrella canopy with fringed edges covers the top. No people are visible in the scene; the procession vehicle is the subject, and a partial printed photo credit appears at right.2013-04-23
