September 03 20112011-09-03 +2 copiesA temple shrine with a large sculpted deity murti of Shiva and Parvati seated together on a raised platform. The figure on the left wears an orange turban and holds a trident, while the figure on the right wears a purple garment and crown-like headdress. Both wear garlands of red and white flowers and gold ornaments. In front, a smaller red-clad sculpted figure sits with hands in offering. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha, flower garlands and offering vessels stand on the stone platform. A blue backdrop and orange curtains frame the shrine, with a red-robed statue to the right. The setting suggests paduka puja at a temple.2011-08-18October 19 20112011-10-19A shrine arrangement of carved statues under a gilded arch with a lavender cloth backdrop. The central deity murti, seated with multiple arms, wears an orange turban, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a red-and-gold dhoti, holding a trident-like staff, with a consort figure beside it in a black headdress. Two standing attendant statues flank the shrine, each draped in marigold and white garlands, one with a crescent-topped red cap. Yellow and red marigold garlands hang across the central figure and a gold-bordered red cloth covers the base, with brass oil lamps in front. The setting appears to be a temple-style display.2014-09-07January 04 20172017-01-04June 18 20132013-06-18Photo 11743603 +1 copiesJune 16 20162016-06-16A temple sanctum shrine with a grey stone frame and gilded arch.

The figure on the right wears a black crown, orange shawl and white and gold necklaces, with a red-yellow garland draped over the shoulder. Beneath them stands a shivalinga-like object with garlands and offerings of brass vessels and a plate. A smaller shrine on the right holds a clad figure garlanded in red and white, and the shrine floor is strewn with flowers.
