A painted temple niche sculpture of a seated deity pair in a blue sky-patterned arch. The male figure has a light brown complexion, a tall crown, a rudraksha-style necklace, golden armlets and bracelets, and a yellow dhoti; he raises one hand in abhaya gesture and holds a small staff-like object. The female figure has green skin, an orange-gold sari, a crown, gold jewellery and a mirror-like object in her raised hand, seated at his side. Ornate multicolour borders frame the niche. This is a deity murti, not a person.2013-09-26September 26 20132013-09-26June 16 20132013-06-16Painted temple sculpture of a seated deity pair set within a blue arched niche with painted clouds. The male figure on the left has a gold crown, a red tilak, a gold belt and armbands, and raises one hand in abhaya gesture while holding a small gold drum-like object. The female figure on the right wears a gold crown, a long orange sari, gold necklaces and bangles, and has green skin, resting her hand on the male figure's shoulder. The figures are statues, so no physical people are present. The setting is an exterior temple niche, and the scene reads as a deity murti depiction.2013-09-29June 20 20132013-06-20June 07 20132013-06-07A painted sculpture in a shrine niche, showing a seated deity murti with a raised hand holding a small object and a consort seated beside him in an orange and yellow sari with jewelry.
