A painted stone or plaster murti of a four-armed deity stands in a blue arched niche framed by teal and pink scrollwork at a temple entrance. The figure wears a tall jewelled crown, earrings, a layered necklace with turquoise and red stones, a rudraksha-style mala, pink upper cloth and a yellow lower garment with a jewelled waistband. He holds a spear-like lance and a ceremonial staff. Smaller painted attendant figures with moustaches and blue faces appear at the lower edges.

March 17 20182018-03-17A painted statue of a four-armed deity stands within a shrine niche against a blue sky backdrop with green hills. The figure wears a tall ornate crown with jewels, a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, a pink-and-maroon shawl over the shoulders, and a yellow dhoti with a jewelled waist band. Its upper hands hold a spear-like staff and a ceremonial object, while lower hands rest near a blue rock-like base. This appears to be a deity murti, with no living people present.2018-03-17 +1 copiesMarch 17 20182018-03-17March 17 20182018-03-17 +1 copiesA painted temple niche sculpture of a seated deity pair in a blue sky-patterned arch. The male figure has a light brown complexion, a tall crown, a rudraksha-style necklace, golden armlets and bracelets, and a yellow dhoti; he raises one hand in abhaya gesture and holds a small staff-like object. The female figure has green skin, an orange-gold sari, a crown, gold jewellery and a mirror-like object in her raised hand, seated at his side. Ornate multicolour borders frame the niche.

The male figure on the left has a gold crown, a red tilak, a gold belt and armbands, and raises one hand in abhaya gesture while holding a small gold drum-like object. The female figure on the right wears a gold crown, a long orange sari, gold necklaces and bangles, and has green skin, resting her hand on the male figure's shoulder. The figures are statues, so no physical people are present. The setting is an exterior temple niche, and the scene reads as a deity murti depiction.2013-09-29
