A photograph of an ornate stone shrine with carved pillars and a gold-framed arch. Inside stands a large deity murti of a male and female figure in gold-coloured dress with red and orange cloth, garlanded with multicoloured flower strings. The male figure holds a drum-like object and the female figure holds a flower-garlanded hand. Brass oil lamps on tall stands line both sides. In front, a gold-ornamented throne with a small white-clad figure seated before it, wearing a red and orange turban, appears in the lower foreground. No clearly visible living person is distinct from the murti and the figure at the base, so the count reflects only the seated figure.2010-11-03October 30 20102010-10-30 +1 copiesA photograph of an ornate stone shrine framed by carved pillars and a gilded arch, housing a large deity murti of a male and female form seated together.
