A photograph of a shrine murti pairing a Shiva-form figure with a consort figure against a dark purple velvet backdrop framed by ornate silver. The Shiva-form figure has a golden face with a red tilak, a crescent ornament in dark hair, layered jewelled necklaces and a rudraksha-style dark beaded garland, and holds a damaru-like drum in one raised hand. The consort figure wears a jewelled crown with a gold finial, a red garment and matching jewellery. The murti is a deity murti, not a living person, and no physical people are visible.2016-02-07August 12 20132013-08-12June 28 20132013-06-28August 12 20132013-08-12Photograph of a pair of golden-toned deity murti seated together before a red silk drape within an ornate gilded arch.
