Inside, two large seated deity murtis are garlanded with yellow, orange and purple flower garlands; the central figure wears a red and orange crown and a multi-strand bead necklace, while the figure to the right wears a gold crown and gold necklace. Both are draped in yellow and orange cloth. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a golden ornate throne-like seat with a red cushion sits in the foreground. A small pink-clad figurine is placed to the right. No living people are clearly visible; a partial figure appears at the lower right edge.2010-11-03October 24 20102010-10-24A photograph of a shrine with a large central statue group under a gold-framed arch with red drapes.

In front stands a smaller saint figure in green and white robes with a garland and mala beads, and a figure in green sits at the base. Flanking the shrine are a standing statue in green robes and brass oil lamps on a stone-pillared platform, with flower offerings and a small brass vessel at the lower left.2011-08-01A photograph of an ornate stone shrine with carved pillars and a gold-framed arch. Inside stands a large deity murti of a male and female figure in gold-coloured dress with red and orange cloth, garlanded with multicoloured flower strings. The male figure holds a drum-like object and the female figure holds a flower-garlanded hand. Brass oil lamps on tall stands line both sides. In front, a gold-ornamented throne with a small white-clad figure seated before it, wearing a red and orange turban, appears in the lower foreground. No clearly visible living person is distinct from the murti and the figure at the base, so the count reflects only the seated figure.2010-11-03Photo 11743603 +1 copiesPhoto 11743601 +1 copiesA photograph of a shrine housing a large deity murti group under a gilded arch with red drapery.
