January 20 20142014-01-20 +2 copiesA dark stone murti of a seated deity in orange robes and an orange turban, adorned with gold and silver jewellery, a rudraksha mala and a crown-like headdress, stands at the back of a temple-style display. Yellow and maroon marigold garlands frame the figure. In front, two gilded figures sit on a teal cloth: a seated male figure in white dhoti with orange shawl and jewelled crown, and a female figure in a red and orange sari with a jewelled headdress and a braid adorned with flowers. A gold-coloured base and a plain white brick wall complete the scene. No physical people are present; the figures are statues.2007-11-10Three ornate metallic-finished murti statues seated together on a decorated dais under sheer golden draperies and a red petal-covered backdrop.
