A photograph of a bronze-toned metal deity murti. The figure wears a tall crown decorated with yellow and pink flower garlands, a red silk sari-like skirt, and a heavy jewelled necklace with white and gold ornaments. It holds a curved staff-like object in one hand and is draped in jasmine and marigold garlands, with a red-and-white flower strand across the chest. Behind it stands a white ornate gopuram-style temple tower and a street with parked vehicles. Visible at the right edge are a few people in the street. The scene suggests a ratha yatra procession of deity murtis.2006-10-15March 03 20132013-03-03October 24 20062006-10-24October 16 20062006-10-16Close-up of a metallic copper-gold deity murti, a goddess figure with a tall jeweled crown and a dense layering of gem-studded necklaces, large jeweled earrings and a nose ring.
