Two golden deity murtis, a male and a female form, are decorated for worship and surrounded by heaped garlands of red, yellow, white and purple flowers. The male murti wears an orange and red turban with a jewelled crown, a silver trident-like weapon in his hand, and an orange garment with ornate beaded necklaces. The female murti wears a jewelled crown, a green sari-style garment, layered gold necklaces, a nose ring and jewelled earrings, holding a small golden implement. In the foreground stands a decorated kalasha-like offering basket covered with green leaves and flowers. Green sequined drapery and a gilded arch frame the scene. No people are visible.2011-11-29Two metal murti figures, a seated deity and a consort, are decorated for worship inside a dense arch of flower garlands in red, yellow, white and purple. The larger figure wears an orange turban-like headdress, an orange shawl draped over one shoulder, a jeweled crown, layered necklaces and an raised open palm. The smaller figure wears a jeweled crown, large earrings, a green and gold sari and bangles. Both figures are silver-toned with embellished ornaments, and the flower arch surrounds them closely. This is a deity murti arrangement rather than a living person.2011-12-09Two silver metal deity murtis stand side by side, framed by garlands of yellow chrysanthemums, white jasmine and red roses.
