December 17 20162016-12-17A decorated temple shrine with a large central deity murti adorned with multicolour flower garlands in red, yellow, white and green. The central figure wears a golden crown-like headdress with a cobra hood behind it and a purple and gold garment. Flanking figures in purple and green stand on either side, one holding a hand raised in blessing. Golden lion-shaped stands hold smaller seated figures and a small green-robed figure at right. Brass oil lamps stand on the left and right, with ornate gold-framed niches. No living people are visible in the scene; the figures are statues.2016-12-17December 17 20162016-12-17December 17 20162016-12-17December 17 20162016-12-17October 04 20082008-10-04December 17 20162016-12-17December 10 20162016-12-10March 16 20202020-03-16 +2 copiesAugust 21 20112011-08-21A photograph of a figure seated in a golden ornate chariot or palanquin canopy, its head wrapped in an orange and maroon turban with a red flower and green leaves tucked in. The figure wears a jewelled diadem with a red stone, a teal-bordered cloth over white garments, and a thick golden armlet. Garlands of yellow marigolds, pink flowers and purple blossoms drape over the figure's shoulders and arms. Behind is a golden hooded naga-style canopy with green stone pendants and a pink silk backdrop. The figure appears to be a murti or decorated statue rather than a living person, and the figure is not identifiable from its face in this image.2010-09-15A 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.2008-10-04
