A photograph of a shrine with a large golden arch framing a green and gold draped backdrop. Two gilded deity murti stand tall on a raised platform: a four-armed figure with a crescent-topped headdress, holding a trident-like staff, and a female deity in a green and gold sari with yellow and red flower garlands. In front of them a small seated figure in a green-gold garment rests beneath a serpent hood with an orange cloth, draped in red and yellow flower garlands. Brass vessels, a kalasha-type pot, flowers and a lamp sit on the altar in the foreground. No physical people are visible.2011-10-29A gilded arched shrine framed by red drapery holds a golden deity murti of Shiva and Parvati standing together, with Shiva holding a trident and a rudraksha-like adornment, wearing an orange turban and layered silver necklaces, while the goddess wears a green and gold sari and a dark crown with heavy jewelry.
