On the left a person in an orange-brown dhoti-style garment with a long rudraksha-style beaded necklace and gold armlet holds a silver lamp with a flame in one hand and a small silver bell in the other, smiling. Behind the murtis are a green cloth backdrop and colourful flower decorations of purple, yellow and red.2013-04-14ADIKAILASA on 3/2/20212021-03-02A seated figure is photographed from behind, wrapped in a red cloth and draped with long garlands of white jasmine and red rose flowers. A large yellow flower crown sits atop the head. Smoke rises in the background near a flame at left, a golden framed deity murti stands behind, and bananas are visible at right. The figure's face is not visible, so the identity is uncertain and there is no clear visual cue for a person.2021-03-02A photograph of a temple worship scene before a gilded arched shrine. A priest in a rust-red dhoti and maroon turban, bare-shouldered with a sacred thread and rudraksha beads, stands with his back to the camera, reaching up to adjust a garland of yellow and white flowers on a deity murti. The murti wears a silver crown and ornate jewellery; a second smaller figure in a red and gold sari stands to the right, both draped in yellow and red garlands. In the foreground a fire pit with a flame and a silver vessel holds offerings, with brass oil lamps on the sides. A blue sequined cloth backs the altar. No other people are visible.2015-11-18November 18 20152015-11-18December 07 20162016-12-07
