A gold necklace with a pendant hangs at the chest. Behind, ornately decorated gilded and jeweled deity figures stand in the background.

Thick garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and pink flowers wrap the figure, with a heap of orange and pink flowers below on a white cloth. Two gold-faced figures stand behind, one with a trident and leopard-print garment, the other in a gold-embroidered orange sari with a golden crown. Multicolour flower garlands frame the scene. No physical people are visible.2008-04-07December 19 20162016-12-19A photograph of a decorated deity murti pair seated on a raised throne-like platform in a temple hall. The seated figure on the left wears a jewelled crown with a crescent, carries a trident, and is adorned with ornate silver-and-gold necklaces and armlets; beside him a seated female figure wears a tall jewelled crown, a blue and gold skirt and a red-and-gold sari with ornate jewellery. In front, a large gold crown-like headpiece with green gem inlays sits on a black stone lingam-like base, draped with white jasmine garlands and a pink-and-green floral arch framing the pair. Small orange marigold offerings lie at the base, and a golden pot-shaped vessel stands before the murtis. The murtis are deity murti rather than living people.November 23 20182018-11-23December 10 20162016-12-10October 21 20112011-10-21July 20 20102010-07-20
