A woman in an orange sari stands with her back to the camera, extending a brass lamp or aarti vessel toward a shrine. On a golden throne in the background sits a seated figure in red and white clothing with a beaded necklace, flanked by yellow and red ceremonial umbrellas and tall brass trident stands. Before the shrine, a framed image of a goddess is garlanded with yellow marigolds, with brass oil lamps burning on either side and a framed portrait with a flower garland at the lower left. Murals of a temple and mountains form the backdrop.2022-03-13A woman in an orange saree stands at left with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes closed, facing a shrine. Behind her a seated statue on a red-cushioned golden throne wears layered beaded necklaces and a red garment, flanked by golden trident standards and tall decorated parasols with red and yellow fringe. A mural of a temple-topped hill forms the backdrop. On a purple cloth in front stand two brass oil lamps, yellow marigold garlands, a framed photo of a deity, a framed black-and-white portrait, a brass plate with flowers, and a small figurine. Only the one woman is a physical person; the statue and framed images are depictions.2022-03-13A woman in an orange-red sari stands at left with her back partly turned, reaching toward a purple-draped table lit by several brass oil lamps. On the table are a framed photograph garlanded with yellow marigolds, a brass plate, a small deity figurine, and a smoking incense or camphor flame at the lower edge. Behind the table, a large deity murti seated on a golden throne with peacock-feather motifs stands in a temple-like shrine with a mural of a South Indian temple tower and golden trident-topped kalasha finials. The scene reads as an aarti or puja at a home shrine.2022-03-13March 13 20222022-03-13July 30 20092009-07-30May 02 20122012-05-02 +2 copiesJune 05 20122012-06-05 +1 copiesJune 05 20122012-06-05June 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesPhoto inside a temple shrine room with a gold-framed deity murti decorated with marigold and multicolour garlands, and a shrine on the right with a portrait-like image and flower garlands.
