Inside a temple shrine, a pair of deity murti sit on a raised dais before a gilded arched frame. The left figure holds a trident and a drum-like instrument and wears a crown and rudraksha mala; the right figure wears a bright green and purple sari with jewelry. Both are draped with garlands of yellow, red and purple flowers. In front stands a Shivalinga-like form with a silver-toned yoni base and a lamp stand. Tall brass oil lamps flank the sanctum, with small brass pots, a kalasha and rose petals on the floor. Blue curtains hang at the sides.2009-06-20June 27 20092009-06-27November 20 20142014-11-20 +2 copiesA photograph of a shrine interior with a gilded arched frame and a green backdrop.
