A photograph of a sculpted deity murti seated before a golden cobra hood with five raised serpent heads and green gemstone drops. The murti is draped in an orange and gold brocade cloth, wrapped with a jewelled band, and adorned with long white jasmine garlands interspersed with red flower strands and a rudraksha mala hanging down the chest. A gold-and-red cloth and marigold-type flowers rest on the base in front. No physical people are visible, and the image is a photo of a statue, so no living person is depicted.2013-06-24 +1 copiesJune 11 20132013-06-11 +1 copiesClose photograph of a decorated deity murti of Shiva in a gilded cobra-hood shaped crown and back arch, wearing a saffron-orange cloth wrapped around the head, with green leaves tucked beside it. White jasmine garlands, magenta flower strands and a dense dark rudraksha mala with gold beads hang across the figure, with gold ornaments and jeweled armlets visible. Gold and green-tinted earrings or pendants dangle from the top, and a gold girdle with bells sits below. The figure is a statue or murti, not a living person, and the scene is a temple setting with a blurred background.2011-11-25September 19 20132013-09-19November 27 20112011-11-27A decorated deity murti, a dark stone form adorned for worship, seated on a gold base.
