A seated priest with a bare upper body, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti with a green border, sits before an ornate decorated shrine. A red and white rudraksha-style mala hangs at his neck. He faces a tiered altar draped in red and yellow marigold garlands, with a deity murti in jewelled gold adornment at the top and lion figures at its base. A pink and silver linga-like object sits at the centre. Two orange-and-red ceremonial banners with floral borders flank the altar, and brass oil lamps, silver bowls of offerings and rose petals surround the scene.2015-07-16July 16 20152015-07-16June 29 20142014-06-29 +2 copiesJuly 16 20152015-07-16A photograph inside a richly decorated temple shrine. A man seen from behind, bare-shouldered, wears a rust-orange cloth wrapped around his body with a gold border and a gold-chained neck ornament, and his hair is tied in a bun. He leans forward to adorn a small deity murti seated on a gold-framed throne, placing a crown or decoration on its head. The murti wears a white dhoti-like cloth, red and gold ornaments, and an orange scarf. The throne is draped with garlands of red, white, green, yellow and purple flowers, and brass lamps stand in the background beside gilded temple pillars.2012-05-02September 19 20152015-09-19July 16 20152015-07-16June 29 20142014-06-29 +2 copiesDecember 22 20182018-12-22 +2 copiesJuly 17 20152015-07-17 +1 copiesA temple ritual scene in which a bare-chested priest in a blue dhoti sits at the left, holding a small brass lamp or spoon and a bundle of grass over a decorated altar.
