Making Of Sacred Arts University

Three gold-toned bronze statues stand on a concrete floor in front of a grey cinder-block wall, with a blue bucket and debris nearby. The central figure is a standing deity murti with a tall ornate crown, multiple arms and a jewelled necklace, flanked by two female figures in tall tiered headdresses, necklaces and draped skirts, one holding a hand near her waist. Their metal surfaces are finely engraved. No living people are visible.

Two gilded bronze standing deity murti figures, each holding a small lamp or cup in one hand, flank two small gilded pyramidal shrine bases in front of a painted gold arch and a grey stylised rocky backdrop. Behind the right figure stands a small red-and-gold painted figurine pair. To the right, woven mats or bamboo sheets lean against a wall beside a wooden tray with a letter tile. No physical people are visible; the scene shows a shrine display of metal murti and decorative backdrop.

A row of five gold-coloured bronze standing deity murtis on rectangular bases stands on a striped woven mat against a pale wall. From left, the first three figures have multiple arms holding discs, conch-like objects and lotus-type attributes, with tall crowns; the fourth and fifth are slender figures with one hand raised. To the right stands a dark bronze Nataraja, the dancing Shiva within a flame arch, on a white and green base. Smaller brass lamps and an object appear at the edges. No people are visible; the scene is a photograph of temple idols.

Four small polished bronze deity murtis stand on a gold patterned silk cloth on a table. On the left, a multi-armed figure with a trident and a large halo-like backdrop wears a crown and stands on a pedestal. The other three murtis are standing figures with crowns and ornamented jewellery on square pedestals. A wall behind shows a framed devotional picture with a wooden frame, and a blue container sits at the left edge. No people are visible.

Three silver-finished metal statues of Hindu deities stand side by side on a raised silver base against a dark wall, placed on a multicoloured woven cloth with orange, red, blue and yellow stripes. The central standing figure has four arms, holds objects in its upper hands and has an ornate crown, necklaces and a pleated dhoti. The figures on either side are female-form statues with tall crowns, jewelled necklaces and draped garments, one holding an object near the chest. A small electrical switch box is visible on the wall behind. No physical people are present.

A row of gilded bronze deity murtis stands on a striped woven mat against a pale wall, on a grey concrete floor. Five standing figures are shown: four multi-armed deities holding attributes such as a conch, discus and lotus, and a slimmer female figure with arms extended. To the right, a dark bronze Nataraja murti of Shiva dances within a flame arch on a stone base, and a small brass figure stands at the far right edge. Several small brass lamps appear at the far left. No people are visible.
