December 31 20182018-12-31Photo 11724213Night photograph of an outdoor shrine dressed with garlands, showing a large white statue of a deity figure seated above a smaller seated figure in a blue and gold garment with a blue head wrap. The upper figure is adorned with white and silver ornaments and a gold crown-like headdress, flanked by a green, yellow, red and white garland arch. Red and yellow flower garlands drape the base and a rangoli-like floral arrangement of petals and leaves lies on the stone platform. Gold-painted rock forms the base, with trees and a bench in the background. No physical people are visible, so the statues are depictions only and the figure cannot be confirmed as the a person from appearance alone.2018-12-31 +1 copiesA decorated deity murti of a seated figure with a red-brown cloth and ornate silver-and-jewelled garments, set under a garland arch of yellow marigolds, red roses, white jasmine and green leaves. A golden lion-headed throne (simhasana) with an orange cloth backdrop holds the figure, with a red floral garland and a silver crown above its head. A large circular brass tray with marigold and rose garlands sits in front, and a second small seated murti stands at the top of the arch. No people are visible; the scene is a temple-style puja display with floral decorations on a wooden floor.2017-06-10Photo 11723233July 10 20132013-07-10A golden ornate arch frames a standing figure in an orange-saffron robe with a white jeweled crown, multiple pearl and bead necklaces and a pearl mala, holding a stick-like staff, placed behind a large ornate gold throne with lion-face carvings.
