A photograph of a richly decorated deity murti on a golden pedestal, with a golden hooded serpent-shaped crown or canopy above it and green stone ornaments. The murti wears a saffron-orange head cloth, a rudraksha mala, and a thick garland of white and red flowers. Behind it, gold-clad figures and a golden staff stand beside pink satin drapery and green gold-patterned cloth. Two people in white clothes with red and gold borders are bowing or prostrating at the sides, and one person's hand rests near the base. The scene looks like a temple ritual or puja.2012-04-26October 21 20112011-10-21August 27 20162016-08-27April 08 20152015-04-08December 10 20162016-12-10January 29 20122012-01-29December 15 20182018-12-15A close crop of a gilded deity murti with a golden multi-hooded cobra canopy above its head, green stone-set crown elements, and a golden hooded serpent halo.
