A shrine photograph of a golden deity murti with multiple arms seated in an ornate gilded arch. The murti wears an orange dhoti, a jewelled crown with a peacock-style ornament, layered silver and gem necklaces, and carries a trident and other implements. Beside it sits a smaller white marble statue of a seated sannyasi in orange robes and a saffron turban, with rudraksha beads. Pink and yellow flower garlands drape the shrine, a green brocade curtain hangs behind, and a shivalinga-style form with a yellow cloth sits at the base. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues.2011-09-12A photograph of a golden deity murti pair seated in a gilded arched shrine against a green and gold brocade backdrop.

Below them stands a Shivalinga-like form draped in orange cloth and garlanded with yellow and red flowers, with a small blue-robed figure in prayer posture beside it. In the lower left a bald man in white ritual clothes with a sacred thread sits reading, and brass vessels and offerings sit on the foreground table. The image appears to be a photo of murtis rather than a living guru, and no face of a physical person is clearly identifiable.2011-09-07November 14 20112011-11-14September 27 20112011-09-27September 18 20112011-09-18September 18 20112011-09-18Photograph of a temple shrine showing a large golden deity murti of a seated couple in orange and blue garments, with a trident, serpent-topped staff and crown, behind a Shiva lingam-shaped base draped in orange cloth and heaped with red and yellow marigold garlands.
