A photograph, rotated on its side, of a gilded temple shrine holding two large golden deity murtis seated under an arched golden frame against a deep red velvet backdrop. The figure on the right wears a crown, a rudraksha-style necklace and a red garment, and holds a trident, while the figure on the left is adorned with heavy gold jewellery and a flowing turquoise and pink silk drape. Both are decorated with thick garlands of yellow marigolds with magenta and purple flowers. Golden lamps and a pink-and-yellow floral arrangement appear at the lower left. No living people are visible, so the a person field is set to unsure because no physical candidate is present and the figures are statues.2010-09-22Close photograph of a gilded ceremonial object.
