On the peetha stands a deity murti in blue with red and white garlands. To the right, a man in a white dhoti and shawl stands with palms pressed together, a garland around his neck; a standing figure in white and a seated woman in blue and yellow sari face the shrine. Another seated devotee in a blue top sits at left, a boy in saffron with white tilak sits nearby, and brass vessels, flower offerings, and yellow bricks lie on the floor in front. Golden arches and deity figures frame the shrine, a statue wearing an orange turban and gold ornaments stands at right, and the scene is brightly coloured in turquoise and magenta.2013-05-12October 15 20132013-10-15A photograph of a temple-style ritual inside a hall. A standing priest in an orange-brown dhoti with bare upper body and rudraksha mala, hands joined in prayer, faces an ornately garlanded deity murti in a gold arched shrine, the murti draped with white jasmine and marigold garlands. Three young boys in saffron-orange turbans and rudraksha malas sit cross-legged on the floor with brass plates and offerings. Behind them, a seated figure in a red-and-gold throne draped with flower garlands wears an orange turban and rudraksha mala, and a pink cloth covers the altar table with flowers and an oil lamp in front. Smoke rises at the right.2015-04-30A photograph of a large seated group of saffron and maroon robed devotees performing a ritual in a bright hall. In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits with palms pressed together in anjali. Beside him, another man in orange with a rudraksha mala and a tilak-marked head holds his hands in prayer, while a man in maroon and gold-bordered cloth wears a red-beaded necklace with hands folded at right. Behind them, many seated people in orange and red robes, some with white forehead markings, sit before brass lamps, small metal cups, flower offerings and kalasha-like vessels on the floor. The image shows a satsang or puja setting with devotees seated in rows.2014-04-16April 30 20152015-04-30
