A close view of a golden metal murti of Krishna with a flute, dressed in an orange turban topped with a peacock feather and jewelled crown ornament. The figure wears an orange garment with gold and red-stone jewellery, a silver-embossed armour-like shoulder plate, and garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and green leaves. The murti stands before a shimmering gold-and-orange draped backdrop. No physical people are visible; the figure is a statue, so no a person candidate is present.2011-11-03October 04 20162016-10-04November 24 20112011-11-24Close-up of a metallic Krishna murti adorned with an orange turban, a green and gold crown with peacock-feather ornament, and a peacock feather tucked at the flute.
