A decorated deity murti, a dark stone figure dressed in an orange and gold turban with gold jewellery, a diamond-studded collar and a gold pendant. Red rose garlands, yellow marigold garlands and purple flowers drape the figure, with green leaves behind its head. A gold makara-style arch with green stones frames it, and a gold-clad arm and bangles appear at right. No people are visible in the scene; the figure is a statue, so a person is none.2010-08-28June 18 20132013-06-18September 24 20112011-09-24A decorated deity murti of a Shiva lingam-like form draped in an orange cloth, wearing a red and gold brocade head covering and a row of diamond-studded bands.
