A large golden metal statue of a warrior deity stands under an open rectangular copper-coloured frame at night, with a full moon glowing in the dark sky above. The figure wears an ornate crown, layered necklaces and armour-like shoulder plates, and holds a slender staff or rod in one raised hand while the other arm bends at the side. Warm light from a lamp at the right illuminates the gold surface against a hazy background. No people are visible.

The murti is wrapped in white cloth at its base and the person's hands rest on its arms and torso. Behind them hang dark purple curtains, and a partly visible gold ornamental finial rises at the top left. A second partly visible person in white clothing appears at the right edge. The setting suggests a ritual presentation during a training convention. Swamiji (probable): the saffron shawl and long swept-back hair are cues, and the person is presenting the murti at the microphone, so the appearance-based label is applied as in_person.2006-08-20A close photograph of a gold-coloured figurine of a female dancer with an arm raised high above her head, holding a flat palm-up hand, the other hand extended outward at her side. She wears an ornate tiered headdress, necklaces, bangles, a decorated bodice and a flowing pleated skirt with an ornamented waist belt. The statue stands on a carved golden pedestal against a dark maroon background. This is a statue, not a living person, so no physical people are present. The figure is a sculpted gold figurine rather than a clearly identifiable deity form.2013-03-07August 20 20062006-08-20July 13 20132013-07-13Close photograph of a gilded metal deity murti being bathed with a stream of water during abhishekam. The figure wears a tall conical crown, large earrings, layered necklaces and a pendant, and holds a small object in one raised hand. Behind it, a second gilded hand holds a flame-like implement, and blurred orange garments and red and green garlands fill the background. No physical people are clearly visible; the scene shows only the statue and water.2012-01-08A gilded bronze statue of a bare-chested, long-haired figure with its right hand raised in a blessing gesture, its left hand held at the chest. A human arm wearing a gold bangle reaches in from the left edge to touch or gesture beside the statue. In the blurred background, a figure in an orange robe and white turban stands among purple and yellow marigold garlands and white draped cloth. Red flower petals lie at the bottom edge. The statue, not a living person, is the main subject.2010-12-19 +1 copiesOctober 13 20132013-10-13
