February 22 20132013-02-22A decorated deity murti stands at centre in a gilded arched shrine, wearing an ornate jewelled crown, an orange and red embroidered garment, and a gold-and-red border, holding a staff with a jewelled head and a small flag. Two flanking figures, also richly adorned with jewelled crowns, necklaces and red and gold silk garments, stand on either side, framed by a gold-trimmed mandap. Purple and gold textiles drape the base. No physical people are visible, so the figures are statues.2015-09-10February 22 20132013-02-22 +2 copiesPhoto of three ornate metal murtis on a gold-framed altar backdrop.
