A photograph of a person in an orange saffron robe standing barefoot on a mat before a shrine. The shrine holds two large painted deity murtis, one in red with a crown and one in blue with a blue veil, seated on a yellow and gold base with garlands of flowers, brass oil lamps and kalasha-style vessels in front. A red curtain frames the sanctum, with stone carved pillars and red railings to the right. The standing figure has long dark hair and faces the deities in worship.2010-10-15October 22 20142014-10-22 +1 copiesA photograph inside a stone shrine at an ashram temple. A person seen from behind, in an orange sleeveless top with dark hair, sits facing a deity murti with garlands of yellow and red flowers. The central deity figures wear orange-red turbans and ornate gold-and-red attire, and a brass lamp stand and bell-metal lamps stand before them on a stone platform with small offering plates. Orange curtains hang at the sides, and a red railing and green trees appear beyond the pillars.2010-07-10A photograph of an open-sided stone shrine with carved pillars and a gold-framed arch holding two deity murtis, one red-and-gold with a crown and one in pink-and-gold, both draped in marigold garlands.

In the lower right foreground, a person in orange robes with shaved head bends forward in prostration before the shrine.

The shrine holds a large deity murti pair with a figure wearing a red crown and holding a trident and a standing female figure in pink-and-red garments, both draped in marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. Below them is a small blue deity figure, and brass oil lamps, a kalasha and small offering vessels sit on the stone platform. Grey carved stone pillars frame the shrine, with a red-and-white striped wall behind it and green trees beyond. A person in saffron clothing is seen from behind, so the figure is a devotee or sannyasi and no identification is made.2010-09-15A woman in a rust-orange sari with a long dark braid stands with her back to the camera at the granite base of a shrine, facing a deity murti pair seated on a raised throne. The murti pair wears garlands of marigold and white flowers, red and orange head-dress, and green and pink silk; brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style brass vessel, bells and offerings sit on the stone platform. Behind them a gold arch frames a yellow backdrop, with a smaller gilt niche and carved temple pillars around the open-air shrine.2013-04-09September 30 20082008-09-30October 23 20102010-10-23October 15 20102010-10-15
