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 copiesSeptember 15 20142014-09-15Close view of a richly adorned deity murti. Its face-like crown rises beneath a multi-headed golden canopy with green panels, all framed by red and white flower garlands. Purple and maroon silk cloth and a gold-bordered sari-like drape cover the base, with a rudraksha and pearl-strung chest ornament below.2014-09-23A seated figure on an ornate golden throne is decorated with thick garlands of yellow marigolds and red flowers draped over the shoulders and arms. The figure wears an orange and maroon turban topped with a green leafy crown, a white garment, a multi-strand gold necklace of beads, a jewelled diamond-studded headpiece, and a gold waist ornament. The face is covered by the turban and garments, so no features are visible. A large white cloth lies in the foreground. Behind the throne are gilded panels and sculpted golden details. The setting suggests a ceremonial procession or darshan, with the seated figure presented as a deity murti or honoured person in jewelled regalia, though whether this is a living person or a statue cannot be determined.2008-10-04September 26 20132013-09-26 +1 copiesClose photograph of a decorated deity murti dressed for worship. A gilded serpent hood with five golden cobra heads and green hanging gems frames the figure's head.

Garlands of red roses and white chrysanthemums hang on both sides, interspersed with brown rudraksha beads and a silver chain. A gold vessel base sits below, with a purple cloth in the background.2011-08-20September 07 20112011-09-07January 04 20172017-01-04
