It wears a green and red patterned silk turban with a green leafy crown, a multi-layered diamond-studded gold collar and a gold waist belt over orange-and-red clothing. Rudraksha mala beads and long silver-threaded ornaments hang across the chest. Yellow marigold garlands and red rose garlands drape the shoulders and sides. Behind the head rises a large gold hooded cobra canopy with green gem-set fangs, set against carved gold and temple pillars. A banyan-style setting with ceremonial decoration suggests a temple worship display.2011-07-26April 09 20132013-04-09June 15 20132013-06-15June 16 20132013-06-16August 19 20142014-08-19 +1 copiesSeptember 06 20102010-09-06 +1 copiesAugust 21 20142014-08-21A photograph of a decorated deity murti, a black stone Shiva lingam shown with an orange-and-gold turban-like draping and a gold-and-diamond band across its top. A gold five-hooded serpent hood (naga) arches behind it, with green gem drops hanging from the hood heads. The murti is wreathed in white jasmine garlands with red roses, wears a long rudraksha mala with gold bead spacers, and sits within gold and pink fabric near a gold ritual vessel. Chiefly a deity murti, with no physical people visible; the tall golden staff at right and a pink cloth hang in the background.2012-04-26
