Photograph taken through a railed corridor looking toward a shrine with a golden arched frame and red drapery. Two large deity murtis stand at the centre, one holding a trident, both adorned with garlands and rudraksha-style necklaces, with a white cloth and gold-and-red ritual items on a white-draped altar. To the left a shaved-headed priest in orange-brown robes sits at the lower altar performing a ritual with brass vessels, while a standing figure in white stands partly visible at the left edge. A smaller figure stands at the right side of the shrine near a gold pillar. Carved grey stone pillars and a red-and-white wall frame the scene.2013-05-07March 30 20132013-03-30May 10 20122012-05-10A photograph inside a stone shrine with carved pillars and a golden arch.
