Gilded murti pair of a male and female deity seated under an ornate gold arch draped with shimmering golden curtain. The male figure wears an orange-red turban, white and gold garlands, a red-stone pendant, a trident held in one hand and raises the other in abhaya gesture. The female figure wears a gold crown, red and gold sari, layered pearl and gold necklaces and orange-red marigold garlands with green leaves. Both have gold earrings and forehead markings. The scene is a deity murti display, not living people.2013-03-07 +1 copiesAugust 03 20102010-08-03October 13 20112011-10-13A photograph of two metal murti images of deities seated before a gold brocade backdrop.
