In the foreground stands a dark silhouetted standing figure with a rudraksha-style mala visible at the neck and hands clasped at the waist; the figure's features and clothing are not discernible. Beside it, a bronze deity murti with an ornate crown and a raised hand holding a trident-like staff; a dark red cloth drapes its shoulders. Palm trees, greenery and a tall red pillar stand in the background, with a stone statue of a seated figure beyond. The silhouetted person's identity cannot be determined from appearance, so no candidate is asserted.2011-12-03Dark night photograph of a large dark stone or wooden deity murti with multiple raised arms, partly silhouetted against a black background.
