Behind it, a large deity murti decorated with a silver and gold ornament-laden frame, flanked by colourful garlands of yellow, red, pink and white flowers draped on tall standing figures. A small figure wearing a maroon turban and a crescent-marked headdress stands at left, and another standing figure in a dark robe and turban is at right. Brass lamps and an offering plate sit at the base, with a floral garland and a golden seat on the right. This appears to be an aarti offering with oil lamps before the deity murti.2014-12-05February 19 20162016-02-19December 19 20162016-12-19February 19 20162016-02-19April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesA temple ritual photo at a Nithyanandeshwara-style shrine.

A large deity murti in gold ornaments, white and red-bordered drapery and a golden crown is the central focus, flanked by additional decorated figures and an ornate mirror-like backdrop. In the foreground, a bare-chested priest in a green silk waistcloth stands on the left, while two seated young men wear green and orange turbans, white flower garlands, and gold-trimmed cloth; one holds a sacred thread and both sit before the shrine.
