In front of them is a shrine with deity murti, a seated figure in pink and white draped garments and a standing figure in rust-red robes, both garlanded with marigold and multicoloured flower strands. A large lingam stands at the centre, garlanded and set on a silver-edged platform with brass oil lamps on either side. Carved stone pillars frame the scene, with hanging yellow and maroon cloth at right.2017-09-11 +1 copiesA person in a rust-red sannyasi-style cloth with a red garland stands with back to the camera at the base of a stone shrine, facing a richly decorated deity group under a gilded arch with a turquoise backdrop. Central figures include a seated deity with garlands and a crown, flanked by standing statues wearing red and white garments and flower garlands. Brass oil lamps stand on the stone platform before the murtis, and a red velvet curtain hangs to the right.
