February 20 20132013-02-20A photograph of a figure seated on a golden throne shaped like a coiled cobra, its hood raised high behind it with green-tipped gold fangs at the top. The figure wears an orange cloth wrap, rudraksha beads, and is draped in thick garlands of yellow marigolds interspersed with magenta and purple flowers. Green leaves are tucked at the head, and a gold-and-stone ornament sits near the shoulder. Red fabric is spread across the foreground. The figure appears to be a sculpted or adorned murti rather than a living person, so no physical person is counted.2011-12-28A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a golden cobra-hood backrest and a carved gold-toned seat base. The figure wears an orange-red turban decorated with a silver ornament and a bright green leafy garland over the head, with thick yellow marigold garlands and magenta flower garlands draped across the shoulders and chest. Long dark rudraksha mala strands with gold beads hang down the front, and a gold-tinted crown-like headpiece with green stones is visible at the top. The setting is an open pavilion with orange walls and a metal gate behind. This appears to be a pada puja or ceremonial decoration setting, with the figure clad in white and orange ritual cloth; the figure's identity is not established from appearance.2011-12-31June 04 20092009-06-04A photograph of a deity murti.
