A shrine niche with a deity murti pair seated in a gilded arch framed by a magenta backdrop. The central figure holds a trident and sits with a consort; both are dressed in orange and red garments, wearing gold ornaments and layered necklaces, and are draped in yellow and red marigold garlands. A small standing figure in orange robes stands in a turquoise niche to the right, and brass oil lamps flank the shrine. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues. Stone pillars and a red curtain frame the scene.2013-01-13December 29 20082008-12-29 +16 copiesA decorated deity murti of Shiva and Parvati seated on a golden throne within a stone temple shrine.
