Below them, a white-robed figure with an orange turban sits on the seat, with a seated orange-robed statue in front of it wearing a garland and a white dhoti and teal-bordered cloth nearby. Brass vessels, an oil lamp and a small green-clad figure stand in the side shrine, with red curtains and carved stone pillars around. No living people are visible. The orange-robed seated figure is a statue, so the candidate is a depiction rather than a person present.2011-02-11July 07 20102010-07-07July 09 20102010-07-09A shrine interior photographed from the front, with a golden arched frame and red satin drapes. At the centre sits a large deity murti pair with gold crowns and yellow-and-purple flower garlands, one figure holding a trident-like staff. In front, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a white-draped platform beneath a garland, the figure appearing to be a statue or portrait rather than a live person. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and a small golden peetha sit in the foreground, with a standing green-clad figure at the right edge. The setting appears to be an open pavilion with carved stone pillars and greenery visible behind.2011-02-11November 25 20092009-11-25A photograph of a shrine with two large murti figures seated on a golden throne platform inside an ornate golden-arched niche with deep red curtains.

Yellow, orange and red marigold garlands drape the figures and a golden kalasha-like vessel stands in front of them.

Two additional statues appear in the surrounding niches. This is a deity murti shrine, not a living person.2010-07-03 +1 copies
