Two large deity murtis with crowns and red-orange garments sit in a garlanded group, one holding a trident-like staff, with a garlanded shivalinga-style form and a jeweled cloth in front. Beside them a smaller statue of a figure in orange robes and a red garland stands with hands folded. A devotee in a reddish-brown garment, seen from behind, stands at the lower right facing the shrine. Brass oil lamps and offering bowls sit on the platform, and a grey carved stone pillar frames the scene.2013-03-07March 06 20132013-03-06A temple shrine with a large golden arch framing two life-size deity murti seated side by side on a raised pink-draped platform, backed by gold and orange curtains. The central figure wears an orange-red turban and multi-strand necklaces and holds a trident-like staff; the figure to the right wears a dark crown with a gold ornament and a green and gold garland. Red and yellow marigold garlands drape the platform, with a small Shiva lingam-like stone with orange cloth at the front. A seated priest in orange-brown robes sits at lower left with palms pressed together in prayer, and a lit oil lamp stands on the right beside a golden shrine niche holding a small figure wrapped in red and garlanded in yellow flowers. Brass vessels and a lamp sit on the floor in front.2011-10-13October 08 20102010-10-08 +1 copiesPhotograph inside a temple shrine viewed down a narrow red-carpeted aisle flanked by metal railings. A large deity murti with a red and gold crown, red garments and white flower garlands stands on a stone platform backed by a golden arch and yellow cloth. A shaven-headed monk in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged at the base of the platform, hands raised in devotion before an altar bearing a decorated throne, orange and white flowers and brass lamps. Only the monk and a partially visible figure at the left edge are physically present; the rest is sculpture.2013-04-10March 15 20132013-03-15April 25 20132013-04-25October 06 20112011-10-06Photograph of a temple shrine with a large gilded arch and golden drape behind a central deity pair seated on a red-draped throne: a figure with an orange headcloth and rudraksha-like adornments and a crowned consort in red and green, both garlanded with white and red flowers, holding a trident and staff. In front, a smaller saffron-robed figure sits on a white cloth with flower garlands and a red-and-white garment, surrounded by brass lamps. Grey stone pillars, hanging orange curtains and banana leaves frame the shrine, with a railing in the foreground. A small saffron-clad figure stands at the right side in a niche. These appear to be sculptured or painted deity murtis and figures rather than physical people.2012-02-10April 10 20132013-04-10
