The murti is a multi-armed female form draped in orange cloth with a green backdrop and white arched frame. In front stands a large pile of red kumkum-coloured offerings on a raised black-and-gold dotted platform, with a small brass lamp and a low wooden stool nearby. Trees and dry leaves surround the shrine, and a red patterned mat lies on the paved floor.2013-03-13November 19 20112011-11-19A barefoot man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaskar before an outdoor shrine under trees. Behind him, a black stone deity murti seated on a pedestal wears a yellow cloth and yellow flower garlands, framed by a white arched stone niche with a green backdrop. In front of the murti, a large mound of red offerings, possibly kumkum or red flowers, sits on a black-and-white bordered platform. The man has a tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha-style mala at his neck; he is not identifiable from the image, so his role is that of a devotee.2011-09-06 +1 copiesA man stands outdoors at right with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed, in front of a black stone deity murti seated on a dark pedestal under a white carved arch with a green cloth backdrop.
