The standing murti wears a tall crown and a long garland, with a bowl-shaped brass vessel and a silver-coloured shrine piece in front. Brass and silver ritual vessels, a white flower garland, a small pyramid-shaped silver object, and incense sticks sit on a brass tray, with flowers scattered at the base. No people are visible in the scene, though a partial orange-clad figure appears at the left edge.2007-02-23August 31 20172017-08-31A photograph of a temple shrine showing two metal deity murtis dressed in white cloth. The larger standing murti on the right is adorned with layered beaded necklaces, a jewelled pendant and a crown, holding a small object in one hand, set against an ornate golden arched frame with carved lion-like motifs. To the left, a smaller murti is draped in white cloth with a gold necklace and a jewelled crown-shaped headpiece, resting on a copper-coloured pedestal. Carved stone pillars with floral relief stand in the background. No people are visible.2012-10-25A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead performs aarti before a deity murti. He wears an orange saffron garment, a white and red flower garland, a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, and holds a lit oil lamp with a flame in one hand and a bell in the other. The murti, dressed in orange with a jeweled crown, is adorned with yellow and red flower garlands, gold hands and ornaments, and a backdrop of colourful garlands and green drapery. The appearance-based label Swamiji (probable) applies to the man performing the aarti, based on the long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala.2011-12-11
