A temple shrine photo with a stone-carved arched niche holding gold-clad deity murti figures decorated with garlands of white jasmine and red flowers. A bare-chested priest in orange-saffron dhoti stands at left, extending his arm to touch or offer a long garland across the figures. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, flower offerings sit at the base, and a standing statue on the right wears a red-orange shawl and rudraksha-style beads. The scene reads as a puja or abhishekam at a shrine. Figures are statues, not living people apart from the priest.2015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13A photograph of a stone temple shrine with ornate carved pillars and a gold-arched niche. Inside, two large deity murtis are dressed in colourful garments and garlands, one holding a long yellow stick across them. In front, a shaved-headed young priest in an orange dhoti and shawl stands barefoot at left, holding a lamp-like object, beside tall brass oil lamps. Flower garlands in pink and red and a floral pedestal arrangement sit at the base. A standing statue of a sage with a red turban and beaded mala stands at right. No living person is seated on the shrine itself, and the scene shows temple worship without a visible identified figure.2015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13December 27 20092009-12-27A photograph of a temple shrine with golden arches framing deity murtis draped in marigold and yellow garlands, with a cobra hood visible above a central Shiva lingam-style form. A priest in an orange dhoti and white body markings stands at left, holding an object toward the shrine, with a brass oil lamp stand beside him. Other statues include a figure in brown robes at right, and a red-turbaned statue at far left seated with raised hand. Several women with folded hands are visible at the bottom right, seen from behind, offering prayers. The setting is a stone temple with carved pillars and a red cloth canopy at the top right.2017-01-25May 13 20152015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13December 14 20102010-12-14December 25 20082008-12-25
