A temple ritual scene at night. On the left, a bald priest in a reddish-orange dhoti and shawl swings a brass handheld bell-shaped object or ghanta toward a shrine. A brass oil lamp (deepa) stands on a ledge and a fire burns in a flat metal fire pit with offerings in front. Behind, a decorated golden arched frame encloses a magenta silk backdrop with a deity murti adorned with a flower garland. A dark statue of a standing figure in white draped cloth stands on a stepped white and red platform. Potted plants surround the steps and a brass vessel sits in the foreground.2013-04-29April 29 20132013-04-29April 29 20132013-04-29April 29 20132013-04-29April 29 20132013-04-29October 16 20122012-10-16April 29 20132013-04-29April 29 20132013-04-29April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesDecember 31 20112011-12-31Night photograph of a temple puja at a golden deity murti decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands and an ornate golden arch and canopy.
