A photograph of a ceremonial seat draped in orange cloth and heavily garlanded with yellow, red, purple and green flower strands. Behind it, a large figure wearing an orange turban, a jewelled crown-like band, gold necklaces and gold bangles sits on a gilded seat, partly hidden by the garlands. In front, a white marble seated figure in an orange robe and orange turban, with a rudraksha-style mala, raises one hand in blessing. A silver jewelled necklace hangs over the lower garlands. Carved stone pillars frame the scene. These are statues and decorated figures, not physical people, and the seated figures are not distinct enough to confirm a particular identity.2010-12-14December 14 20102010-12-14December 14 20102010-12-14December 14 20102010-12-14December 14 20102010-12-14December 14 20102010-12-14January 01 20122012-01-01October 02 20082008-10-02December 14 20102010-12-14A large deity murti is decorated for a festival, its face and head covered by a red-and-gold cloth and a dense crown of green leaves edged with yellow and red flower garlands.
