The murti, adorned with a tall crown, a silver-and-gold ornamented body and a multicoloured flower garland draped over the arch, stands under a gold arched frame. Brass oil lamps with bird-shaped tops flank the shrine, and a small silver kalasha sits draped in flowers on the right. The man has long dark hair and wears an orange shawl over orange clothing, with a rudraksha mala visible; his appearance is consistent with the candidate, but the page does not state he is present, so identity is uncertain. Mixed-colour garlands and red-and-gold cloth cover the altar area.2006-08-27 +1 copies
