Three ornate metal deity murtis stand together on a stage, dressed in heavy silver-toned jewelled ornaments and crowns, with a central figure wearing a red cloth behind a tall jewelled crown and two flanking figures in green and gold clothing. Thick garlands in orange, yellow, white, green, red and purple drape across the figures, and a golden arch frames the group. The figures are statues, not living people.2010-11-14 +1 copiesMay 07 20172017-05-07May 07 20172017-05-07May 07 20172017-05-07A photograph of three life-sized statues of deities seated on a raised platform in a temple shrine.
