A four-armed bronze-toned deity murti stands before an ornate gold carved backdrop with white cut-out panels. The figure wears a magenta and orange sari with gold borders, a jewelled orange and white turban-like headdress, large gold earrings, and a jewelled belt. Its hands hold a trident-like staff, a conch-shaped object, a small kalasha-like vessel and a curved implement. No physical people are visible; the figure is a statue.2016-12-16December 16 20162016-12-16December 16 20162016-12-16May 01 20132013-05-01A metal deity murti stands in a shrine niche draped with gold-flecked orange silk. The figure wears an ornate jeweled crown with pink, green and red stones, a heavy silver-toned necklace with red and green gems, and a jeweled waist ornament. Garlands of yellow and magenta flowers hang over both shoulders, and a trident rests upright beside the figure. The scene is a close, frontal view of a temple deity decorated for worship.2012-10-22April 29 20132013-04-29A photograph of a silver-toned statue of a deity in a red and saffron turban, adorned with layered gold and jewelled necklaces, rudraksha-style beads, and ornate earrings. It holds a trident in one raised hand and a small brass dish with a red flower in the other. The statue stands against an ornate golden lattice screen with carved floral panels.

The figure holds a stick or staff in one raised hand and a small cup-like vessel in the other, set against ornate gold relief carving. No physical people are visible; the figure appears to be a statue, so a person is depiction-free and set to none.2014-11-20A close-up photograph of a gilded metal murti of a deity with a bright orange turban and jewelled crown, large dark eyes, red lips and a red tilak on the forehead.
