Photo of a temple shrine with a large golden-framed arch behind a golden-yellow curtain. Two life-sized sculpted deity figures stand together: the left figure wears an orange-red turban and a rudraksha-style necklace and holds a trident and a small drum, while the right figure wears a tall ornate crown, jeweled necklaces and a red garland. A purple cloth and flower garlands in red, orange and yellow drape the figures, and a small seated figure with an orange head covering sits in the foreground beside a tray with a kalasha, a bowl and an open book. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a smaller portrait-style figure in a green-curtained niche at right wears a rudraksha-style mala.2013-06-16March 04 20132013-03-04May 28 20132013-05-28A photograph of a shrine with two gilded murti statues seated on a raised platform before a red and gold curtain within an ornate golden arch.
