A photograph of a gilded deity murti pair seated on a raised golden throne against an orange drape within an ornate gold arch. The male figure wears a red turban, a rudraksha mala and layered jewelled necklaces, holds a trident and makes a raised blessing hand. The female figure wears a teal blouse, a gold crown and heavy gem necklaces, and holds a lotus-like object. Both are garlanded with yellow and red marigolds. A teal and gold cloth drapes a central shivalinga-like form with a rudraksha garland, and a small deity figure stands before it. Brass lamps, a kalasha-style vessel, flowers and offering bowls sit on the altar in front. No people are visible.2013-06-18June 18 20132013-06-18June 20 20132013-06-20 +1 copiesJune 18 20132013-06-18Photograph of a shrine niche framed by gilded arch with red drapery.
