A stone temple shrine with an ornate gold-framed arch and green silk backdrop holds a group of deity murtis. Two central figures sit on a raised dais, one with a crown and red-orange cloth, the other with a silver crown, both draped in garlands of white and red flowers and beaded necklaces. A smaller seated murti in yellow cloth with a crown and garland sits in front. To the right, a golden niche holds a standing statue in yellow robes, and brass oil lamps stand on either side of the shrine. The statues are not living people, and no identifiable person is present.2011-11-28December 31 20112011-12-31A photograph of a temple shrine with a large gilded arch framing a richly decorated deity murti, a two-armed figure in orange and teal garments holding a trident and a drum-like instrument, with a garland of white flowers and a crown.
