Two small bronze attendant figures flank the base, one wearing rudraksha beads, and a bronze lizard-like creature rests at the foot. Behind, a seated man in a pink checked shirt watches, and the hall is decorated with marigold garlands and a colourful painted pillar. The sculpture is an image of a deity murti, not a living person.2018-04-14 +1 copiesA bronze Nataraja-style Shiva murti stands within a circular arch of flame motifs, with four arms, a crown, a white tripundra on the forehead, and a red-orange lip and a jeweled chest ornament with a beaded necklace. The figure wears a leopard-print cloth. Behind it, a red, white and blue painted pillar and orange marigold garlands indicate a temple hall. No living people are visible.2018-04-14 +1 copiesNovember 04 20142014-11-04 +2 copiesApril 14 20182018-04-14 +1 copiesJuly 11 20142014-07-11May 04 20162016-05-04May 04 20162016-05-04 +7 copiesA carved wooden or sculpted murti of a figure wearing a maroon and saffron turban with a jewelled brooch, ornate gold and beaded necklaces, a dark brown shawl and layered ornaments. The figure holds a stick or staff in one raised hand and a small cup-like vessel in the other, set against ornate gold relief carving. No physical people are visible; the figure appears to be a statue, so a person is depiction-free and set to none.2014-11-20A man stands on a raised platform before a large golden-faced relief of a multi-armed deity, shown as a deity murti carved in the wall behind him. He wears a black turban-style headwrap with a white forehead mark, a maroon garment with a leopard-print cloth wrapped at the waist, and heavy gold necklaces with a pendant. Rudraksha bracelets are on his wrists and arms. He holds a silver trident with a twisted white staff, and a tiger-striped cloth covers the platform edge. The scene is lit warmly against the carved backdrop. Whether this man is the a person depicted in the page's context is uncertain, and the appearance cues alone do not establish it.2016-05-04 +1 copiesMay 04 20162016-05-04 +1 copies
