Photo inside a temple shrine at Adi Kailaasa showing a central deity murti pair seated on a pedestal, with a crowned figure holding a trident and a consort in blue and pink garments wearing garlands. A bare-chested priest in saffron-orange dhoti pours water from a pot over a black stone abhishekam basin in front of them. Flanking gilded niches hold statues: a figure with a yellow-and-purple turban and purple garland on the left, and a figure in orange cloth with purple and yellow garlands and a dark turban on the right. Brass oil lamps and small golden miniatures sit in the foreground, with flower petals scattered on the floor and red velvet drapes behind.2017-09-21 +2 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21September 05 20172017-09-05March 07 20132013-03-07September 05 20172017-09-05September 05 20172017-09-05 +1 copiesA temple shrine photographed from behind a standing figure in an orange-saffron robe and wrap, with bare shoulders and a rudraksha-style necklace visible at the neck.
