The murtis wear colourful flower garlands in orange, yellow, red and green, ornate silver crowns and gold jewellery. A golden kalasha-style pedestal and a tray sit in the foreground, with gold pillars framing the scene and green draped fabric and leaves in the background.2013-12-24December 24 20132013-12-24December 24 20132013-12-24A photograph of a temple shrine decorated with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands forming an arch behind a dark stone lingam-style altar. Two large decorated murti figures of deities stand on the raised platform, one with a crown and jewelled necklaces and a gold-toned upper garment, the other in a red and gold sari-like drape. Standing at left before the altar, a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and wrap with a matching orange headcloth stands with hands folded, and another attendant in orange stands at the right edge. Brass oil lamps on tall stands flank the shrine, and small string lights hang overhead. These are statues and figures in a shrine, with no clear basis for identifying the standing man, so the a person field is unsure.2017-02-24December 27 20132013-12-27May 07 20172017-05-07December 31 20082008-12-31A photograph inside a temple-style shrine showing a gold-framed arch above a large deity murti pair, a seated figure with a crown and orange turban and a standing consort in red and gold, both heavily adorned with jewelled necklaces and garlands. In front, a golden kalasha-like murti sits in a bed of marigold and red garlands on a golden base. Two people stand at left: a figure in a long-sleeved orange robe holding a plate with offerings, and a figure with long dark hair in a sleeveless orange top and orange skirt, reaching toward the deity. A small white figure in red robes wearing a garland sits at the bottom centre, and brass oil lamps stand on the lower left.2008-12-31
