A seated golden deity murti in a blue silk skirt and richly ornamented jewelled bodice, wearing a tall golden crown and holding a trident, is dressed with floral garlands in white, red and orange flowers. A priest in white ritual clothes with ash marks on his forehead stands at left, pouring or offering a flower over the deity's lap. Before the murti sit a golden bowl of rose petals, red roses and marigolds, and beside it a small figurine with garlands. Brass oil lamps and a vase of flowers stand at right against a golden throne backdrop, part of the Guru Purnima celebrations at KAILASA San Jose.

Behind him a large golden deity murti with a tall crown, trident and bow sits on a blue draped seat before a gilded arch hung with garlands of white, red and orange flowers. The murti wears a blue silk garment, layered jewelled necklaces and a jewelled belt. Small brass figures flank the arch, and a yellow hibiscus lies among the offerings. The scene suggests shrine dressing for a puja at a temple.2022-07-13 +1 copiesKAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 7/13/20222022-07-13 +1 copiesPhoto 66787392022-07-13 +1 copiesKAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 7/13/20222022-07-13 +1 copiesKAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 7/4/20222022-07-04 +3 copiesPhoto 66802162022-07-05 +1 copiesKAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 7/4/20222022-07-04 +3 copiesKAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 7/4/20222022-07-04 +1 copiesPhoto 82859392022-07-11 +1 copiesPhoto 99179512022-11-04 +1 copiesPhoto 99171142022-07-02 +1 copies
