A close view of a decorated deity murti seated in a gilded throne with a cobra-hood style back and ornate golden finials. The figure wears a bright orange-red turban with gold border, multiple garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds, purple flowers and green leaves, rudraksha-style beads, and a jeweled armband. A brass oil lamp stands in the foreground, and magenta and teal silk cloth drapes the scene. No physical people are visible.2013-02-20February 21 20132013-02-21Close photograph of a decorated deity murti of Shiva in a gilded cobra-hood shaped crown and back arch, wearing a saffron-orange cloth wrapped around the head, with green leaves tucked beside it. White jasmine garlands, magenta flower strands and a dense dark rudraksha mala with gold beads hang across the figure, with gold ornaments and jeweled armlets visible. Gold and green-tinted earrings or pendants dangle from the top, and a gold girdle with bells sits below. The figure is a statue or murti, not a living person, and the scene is a temple setting with a blurred background.2011-11-25A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a golden cobra-hood backrest and a carved gold-toned seat base. The figure wears an orange-red turban decorated with a silver ornament and a bright green leafy garland over the head, with thick yellow marigold garlands and magenta flower garlands draped across the shoulders and chest. Long dark rudraksha mala strands with gold beads hang down the front, and a gold-tinted crown-like headpiece with green stones is visible at the top. The setting is an open pavilion with orange walls and a metal gate behind. This appears to be a pada puja or ceremonial decoration setting, with the figure clad in white and orange ritual cloth; the figure's identity is not established from appearance.2011-12-31July 20 20102010-07-20September 30 20082008-09-30A dark stone deity murti dressed for worship, adorned with a gilded naga hood of five cobra heads set with green gem drops, an orange and red turban, a jewelled diamond-style crown band, and a garland of yellow marigolds and magenta and purple flowers draping both sides.

The figure wears an orange cloth wrap, rudraksha beads, and is draped in thick garlands of yellow marigolds interspersed with magenta and purple flowers. Green leaves are tucked at the head, and a gold-and-stone ornament sits near the shoulder. Red fabric is spread across the foreground. The figure appears to be a sculpted or adorned murti rather than a living person, so no physical person is counted.2011-12-28June 09 20092009-06-09
