A photograph of a temple shrine with a large deity murti group: a seated figure with a trident and orange-red garments and a female figure in red and orange with garlands, flanked by a kneeling-looking seated figure and a standing statue in an arched niche. Multiple garlands of white and magenta flowers adorn the figures, with ornate necklaces and a golden arch behind a teal curtain. Brass oil lamps stand on the stone platform in front. A lone person in an orange cloth stands at the lower right, facing the shrine, apparently in puja or darshan. The statue in the right niche wears a saffron cloth and rudraksha-style beads; the figures are statues, so the person in orange at lower right is the only physical person.2013-01-29A photograph of a temple shrine with a golden arched frame and teal drapery behind two large deity murtis: a figure with a red turban and multiple arms holding a trident-like weapon, and a seated consort in a crown and pink-and-white garments.
