May 14 20132013-05-14 +1 copiesA temple shrine with granite pillars and gold-framed arches draped in orange cloth. Two large sculpted deity murti stand in the centre, one in red headdress and blue-pink dhoti with a trident, the other in a crown with gold armlets. A seated orange-clad priest with white body markings sits in front of an orange-draped peetha bearing a kalasha and garlands of red and white flowers. Oil lamps, brass vessels and offerings are arranged on the floor. A smaller figure in orange with a rudraksha mala stands at right, appearing to be a statue. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable as a living person, so the seated priest is described by role only.2013-05-20May 14 20132013-05-14 +1 copiesA photograph inside a temple shrine showing a large golden arched niche framing a deity murti pair.
