A gilded palanquin-style float with a golden canopy is decorated with red and white flower garlands, peacock feathers and a yellow-and-gold silk cloth, carrying a deity murti dressed in a red and gold brocade garment and a peacock-feather crown. Beside it on the pavement, a man in a white-and-red jacket and jeans raises a white flag with a blue bird emblem, while a woman in a purple sari carries a tray of oranges and another man in white stands near the float. A saffron-robed figure with a shaved head walks at the right edge. The setting is a wall of white tiles and a ceiling light; the scene reads as a procession.

A photograph of a deity murti seated on a gold palanquin-style throne (peetha) under a golden canopy with kalasha finial, decorated with red and white garlands, peacock feather bunches and a gold-and-maroon brocade shawl. Two men in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stand beside the palanquin on a paved area by a white brick wall; the man on the left wears a tilak and the man on the right wears a rudraksha mala. A third person's arm is visible at right. No candidate is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so a person's presence is uncertain.2008-10-15October 15 20082008-10-15October 22 20082008-10-22May 12 20082008-05-12October 22 20082008-10-22October 15 20082008-10-15A deity murti is seated within an ornate golden canopy shrine, dressed in a crimson and purple silk cloth and heavily garlanded with pink, red and white flower strands. A peacock feather fan hangs from the canopy posts, and the image bears a silver-and-gold crown with a crescent. A man in white dhoti-style clothing with a rudraksha mala bends toward the shrine at left, and at right a figure in saffron-orange robes stands partly in frame. Red and orange flower heaps surround the base of the image, with a brass plate in front.2008-05-12April 2008 - Kailaasa In LA EventsApril 28 20082008-04-28May 04 20082008-05-04October 22 20082008-10-22May 12 20082008-05-12
