A photograph of a richly adorned deity murti seated on a white-draped platform. The murti wears a tall crown with green and gold elements, a golden necklace with red and white stones, a rudraksha-style bead mala and a broad mala of yellow and red flower garlands. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, with more lamps in front and a small silver-and-red offering tray below. Behind the murti, a gilded figure on the left holds a staff, and a standing gold statue on the right wears a tiger-striped top, red dhoti and white garland with palms joined. Red curtains and gilded carved panels frame the scene. No living people are visible.

In front sits a small white and green statue of a seated figure with a green turban and green sari-like garment, holding a rudraksha mala and a book, with brass oil lamps on stands and a blue backdrop. The large figure is a statue or murti rather than a living person, so no physical people are present. Nothing in the image establishes a person's identity, so the statues are described by role only.2011-07-31April 01 20152015-04-01Photo 11693813
