May 31 20182018-05-31A decorated shrine scene dominated by a large golden ceremonial structure with a trident-like crown finial, wrapped in dense garlands of white, yellow, red and purple flowers. Seated at the base is a white statue of a seated saintly figure in saffron-orange robes with an orange head covering, hands raised in a blessing gesture and a flower garland around the neck, placed on a white pedestal. The statue is a depiction, not a physical person. Behind the shrine are large orange and red painted backdrop panels and draped cloth in pink and teal. Several garlands hang down the sides of the structure, and marigold garlands lie on the floor at the lower left and right. No physical people are visible.2008-12-28 +1 copiesMay 30 20182018-05-30December 28 20082008-12-28 +5 copiesDecember 26 20082008-12-26 +1 copiesA temple shrine lit at dusk with a large central deity murti decorated with a crown, heavy gold-and-jewel necklaces and garlands of yellow, red, pink and white flowers.
