Night photograph of a small illuminated shrine structure with a dark roof strung with fairy lights and a gilded arched frame. Two life-sized deity murtis sit on a raised dais: a larger seated figure in a teal blue and peach robe with a golden crown, beside a smaller figure in a red and gold dress. Both are adorned with garlands of marigolds and flowers, and a brass oil lamp stands at the left. Green coconuts are hung on the side of the arch, and a gilded throne-like seat with a white cloth sits at the right. A metal ladder leads up to the platform, and a few people are partly visible at the bottom edge.2009-06-09January 08 20172017-01-08A photograph of a lit temple-style stage or tableau at night under an open shelter.
