Making Of Sacred Arts University +2 copiesA gilded metal statue of a four-armed female deity stands on a tiered rectangular base against a blue cloth backdrop with white stripes. She wears a tall cylindrical crown decorated with red and green stones, a red bindi, a multi-coloured jewelled necklace and earrings, and a white draped garment with gold border. She plays a long ornate veena held across her body in two hands, while another hand holds a jewelled mala or bracelet. The figure is an image of a deity murti, not a person, so no physical people are present.2006-08-28A gilded metal murti of the goddess Saraswati stands on a stepped pedestal against a royal blue cloth backdrop. She has four arms: one hand holds a beaded japa mala, another a veena with ornate engraving, and the remaining hands rest on the instrument. She wears a white sari with gold border, a jewelled necklace, a red bindi, and a tall crown with set stones. No people are visible; the image is a photograph of the statue alone.2006-08-28 +2 copiesMaking Of Sacred Arts UniversityMaking Of Sacred Arts UniversityMaking Of Sacred Arts University +2 copiesMaking Of Sacred Arts University +2 copiesAugust 20 20062006-08-20Making Of Sacred Arts University +2 copiesA decorated metal murti of the goddess Saraswati stands on a blue cloth, holding a silver veena with both hands and additional arms raised with ritual objects.
