A photograph of a gilded shrine inside a temple-style hall. Two large golden-hued metal murti of a deity couple sit on a raised stone platform beneath an ornate gold arch against a red drape. The male figure holds a trident-like staff and a raised hand; the female figure is adorned with jewellery and a tall crown. Both wear red and yellow-orange and white-green garments, with garlands of red and yellow flowers draped over them. In front lies a red-and-yellow garlanded linga-like form, a small ornate seat, brass vessels and offerings. A red carpeted aisle leads toward the shrine between black metal railings. To the right, a smaller figure in a blue niche holds a lamp with a flower garland. No living people are visible.2013-07-04 +1 copiesMay 26 20132013-05-26 +1 copiesA shrine inside a stone temple with gold-framed arch and orange curtain.
