A photograph of a ritual inside a decorated hall lit with pinkish light. At the centre stands a large deity murti of Shiva with trident and a consort figure beside him, both draped in garlands, set before a silver arch with ornate kalasha-topped finials. Men in white dhotis and orange or saffron robes sit on the floor in front, some with marigold garlands, facing the murti. A man in a white kurta with an orange garland stands at left with hands joined, and another in white at right holds a tray or cloth. Smaller silver-framed deity figures are on a side platform at left, and a multicoloured canopy hangs above. Several people are visible in the front rows, with others partly seen behind.2015-09-14A photograph of a seated congregation on a red carpet facing an ornate golden temple shrine decorated with multicoloured tassel garlands and crystal chandeliers. Devotees in white, pastel and colourful saris sit in rows while a figure in orange robes sits centrally before the shrine, surrounded by standing priests in white and offering vessels. Gold-painted deity murtis and carved arches frame the shrine. The central deity murti appears to be a decorated image with a crown, but its exact identity is not clear. A person in orange robes at the centre is seated and performing a ritual; whether this is a specific candidate is uncertain from appearance alone, so the role is given as a seated figure in orange clothing, with no identity claimed.2016-04-24September 14 20152015-09-14April 24 20162016-04-24April 27 20162016-04-27September 14 20152015-09-14 +3 copiesJanuary 13 20152015-01-13April 27 20162016-04-27January 13 20152015-01-13Crowded interior of a temple-style pavilion decorated with ornate carved stone and silver-toned pillars, tall tassel decorations in red, orange, green and white, and a glittering arch framing deity murti. Several bald devotees in orange and saffron garments, including one with a rudraksha mala, stand close to the shrine among women in colourful saris, one in pink and one in teal and yellow. A figure in an orange turban and orange cloth stands near the shrine, with a man beside him in a dark top. Purple and blue stage lighting illuminates the scene.2016-04-24September 14 20152015-09-14April 25 20162016-04-25
