A photograph of a temple shrine with a priest in the lower left corner, bald and wearing glasses, with a white cloth over his shoulder and a gold-bordered yellow cloth, his right arm extended toward the altar with a small vessel. The central altar holds a seated deity murti draped in white and gold with a gold crown, flanked by standing deity figures in pink and blue garments garlanded with white and red flower strands. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a brass vessel of offerings sits at the front. Carved stone pillars and a gilded arch frame the shrine. The priest appears to be performing puja or abhishekam. He is the only physical person visible, so no a person candidate is present in the frame.2016-04-03April 03 20162016-04-03April 03 20162016-04-03April 03 20162016-04-03April 03 20162016-04-03A photograph of a temple shrine with a golden-framed arch holding several deity murtis draped in garlands and fresh flower necklaces.
