A photograph of three gilded deity murtis in a shrine niche framed by ornate gold carving and a red silk drape with gold motifs. The central figure wears a tall crown, a red and orange turban, and an ornate jewelled gold robe with red stones, holding a staff-like sceptre and a small flag-like emblem. Flanking figures wear jewelled crowns and embellished silver-and-gold garments. All three are densely adorned with long bands of red roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves, with leaf fans behind the central figure. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues.2016-11-06July 18 20132013-07-18A decorated deity murti is shown at the centre, flanked by two smaller ornately adorned figures on either side.
