A temple sanctum photograph of a large shrine with a golden arched frame and green gold-threaded curtain behind. Two standing deity murtis dominate the upper centre: a figure with an orange turban, bow-like trident and a sculpted bull-head motif, and a consort in a green blouse and pink skirt with red and yellow garlands. A Shiva lingam with a silver face and orange cloth is decorated with red and white garlands and pearl-like strands. In front, a seated murti in a lavender shawl and beaded necklace sits beside brass kalasha pots, lamps, a flower tray and offerings. Smaller lavender-clad statues stand at the sides. No living people are visible.

Photograph of a temple shrine with no people visible. A large deity murti with red and gold garments and gold ornaments stands in a gilded arch framed by red drapery, with a golden shiva lingam on a silver-and-white pedestal in front, draped in a pink cloth and garlanded with pink, yellow and white flower strings. Beside it a small purple-robed figure wearing a purple turban and rudraksha-style beads sits on a seat, presumably a statue or murti, and a second purple-clad figure stands in a red niche at right. Brass oil lamps, kalasha-type brass vessels, brass bowls, a plate of flowers and a flower-decorated tray sit on the stone platform, consistent with puja and abhishekam offerings.2012-04-07 +3 copiesSeptember 03 20092009-09-03A photograph of a temple shrine with two large painted statues of deities dressed in orange, red and purple garments, one holding a staff, both adorned with garlands of white and orange flowers and gold ornaments, set beneath a gilded arch with green drapery.
