A photograph of a deity murti seated on a throne within a golden shrine. The figure wears a maroon turban, a rich maroon and gold robe, layered ceremonial necklaces, and bangles, and holds a long staff with a golden tip. Its arched backdrop is draped with white and red flower garlands and a red cloth, flanked by ornate golden lion-figure pillars and a perforated golden lattice wall. A silver peacock figure lies at the base of the throne. This is a statue, not a living person.2019-01-05A photograph of a multi-armed deity murti in an ornate gold shrine, draped in white jasmine garlands and red flower strands, with a red and gold headdress and a heavy jewelled necklace. The deity holds a trident and other weapons in its raised hands. In the foreground at left, a person in a dark turban and white-patterned shawl holds an incense stick or small flame toward the murti, and wisps of smoke or ash drift through the air.

The figure wears a maroon turban, a red and gold garment, layered pearl and jewelled necklaces, and a rudraksha-style mala, with gold bangles and a gold staff-like object held in its hands. It is seated on a red velvet and silver-edged pedestal, framed by a large arch of white and red flower garlands with green and black accents. Gold carved pillars flank the scene. The figure is a statue or murti, not a physical person, and the image relates to a darshan with aushada-bath offerings.2019-01-04November 26 20172017-11-26December 16 20162016-12-16A golden deity murti is richly adorned and dressed, seen head-on against a red drape. It wears an ornate jeweled crown, a red-and-gold turban, and a heavily embellished silver-and-gold garment set with red stones. Two long steel-shafted staffs with ornate tips cross in front of its body, and the figure is framed by thick garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and white jasmine with green leaves. Gold hand-shaped ornaments rest at its sides. No physical people are visible; this is a decorated image in a shrine-style setting.2016-11-06November 25 20172017-11-25
