January 07 20062006-01-07Interior of a mirror-work shrine with blue and white mosaic arches and silver-mirrored pillars under a domed ceiling, with teal drapery at the sides. Several blue-skinned figurines of Krishna in yellow dhotis and red shawls stand in the arched niches. In the centre, a white-robed figure with long dark hair stands on a raised platform, holding a small instrument, and a small drum sits nearby. A red and white sign reads 'Meera' in Hindi, and a wooden lidded box with mirror inlay sits in front. Two more small figures appear at the lower left and a painted landscape panel decorates the right. No living a person candidate is visible; the figures are statues and painted depictions.2006-01-07October 22 20062006-10-22November 17 20172017-11-17November 17 20172017-11-17A figure in a deep red-orange robe with a matching red turban stands before an ornate silver throne with an arched backrest, holding a tall silver trident in the right hand.

Behind are painted pillars in pink, green and gold, with a silver umbrella canopy above and a glossy reflective floor below. A small silver stand with a cup sits to the left.
