A bronze-coloured standing deity murti with a tall crown, trident-like staff and layered necklaces is the central object, with raised hands. In the foreground a bare-backed person with long dark hair wears an orange cloth wrap and faces the murti. Beside them stand several men and boys in light shirts and t-shirts looking on. An elderly man in white clothing on the left touches his mouth with one hand while holding a ritual staff. a person candidate is not clearly identifiable from appearance: the bare-backed figure shows long swept hair and an orange wrap, but the face and figure are not distinctive enough to confirm, so the a person field is unsure.2006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18A photograph under a white tarpaulin canopy beside trees, showing two large bronze-coloured metal deity figures seated together on a pedestal: a male form wearing a tall crown and a female form with a tall headdress and elaborate jewellery.

A young man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak wears an orange saffron robe and stands at right, touching the metal surface of a large bronze deity murti with a carved, ornate crown. Beside him, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a rudraksha mala, leans in and holds the murti. Another man in white clothing is partly visible at left, pressing on the bronze. Stacked red bricks, dirt ground and green trees are visible behind. Only the a person identity cue of long hair, saffron robe and tilak is present on the standing figure, so the appearance match is probable, but the face is not visible and identification is uncertain.2006-09-18
