In the foreground a bare-chested man in an orange-brown dhoti with a gold waistband and red rudraksha mala garlands offers flowers or a fruit to a decorated deity murti seated on a gold throne. The murti wears an orange garment and a crown-like headdress, framed by a curved arch of garlands in purple, yellow, red, white and green. Orange and white flower garlands drape the throne, and a second man in white ritual clothes stands behind. A visible tilak marks the forehead of the standing man. The attendant's appearance does not clearly establish an identity, so the a person field is unsure.2013-05-25June 08 20172017-06-08A photograph of a priest in a rust-orange dhoti and shawl standing at left, his arms reaching into a richly decorated deity murti with a conical crown, a trident-like staff and layered gold necklaces. The murti is draped in flower garlands of red roses, orange marigolds, white blossoms and yellow chrysanthemums, with a smaller murti in a blue-green silk dress and a jewelled necklace beside it. Behind them stand a gold ornate frame and a maroon curtain. The priest is adjusting the garlands and ornaments as part of temple decoration. No other people are visible.2015-01-09A woman in an orange-red sari and gold bangles bends forward to touch a tall golden lingam with a silver-toned crown of cobra-like hoods, adorned with strands of white, yellow, red and purple flowers. Behind it, two golden deity murtis with crowns and jewellery sit on a richly decorated pedestal wrapped in red and multicoloured garlands. The scene appears to be a temple abhishekam or puja, with a gold-framed arch overhead.2015-01-04December 23 20162016-12-23A golden deity murti of Murugan stands in a flower-decorated shrine framed by yellow marigold garlands, red rose garlands, purple flowers and a white jasmine garland.
