Inside a temple shrine, a standing statue with a jeweled turban and a long garland of white flowers with purple accents stands in a golden arched niche against a deep red curtain. The figure wears blue and gold garments and ornate necklaces, with one hand raised in blessing. To the right, a seated deity murti in a gold crown and red garment sits on an ornate throne, flanked by a second figure in red and gold, with yellow marigold garlands draped over the throne. A tall brass oil lamp stands at left beside carved stone pillars. The statues are figures, not people; no physical people are visible.2017-10-01Photo 11704853 +1 copiesKAILASA HOUSTON, USA on 7/16/20222022-07-16 +1 copiesAugust 14 20112011-08-14A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a central deity murti seated on a golden throne-like pedestal, draped in red and pink-and-yellow flower garlands.

The figures to either side wear red and maroon garments, jeweled headdresses and gold necklaces, with one holding an object near the shoulder.
