A photograph inside a temple shows a man in a white dhoti and white upper cloth with a red and white garland, a red tilak on his forehead, and long dark hair, standing at left and holding a silver plate. Beside him sits a golden deity murti with a tall crown and a golden kalasha-like headdress, wearing an orange cloth, a red gemstone necklace and rudraksha-style beads, and a large gold-covered figure with a crown and ornate jewellery, seated against a gilded arch. Marigold garlands in yellow, red and purple surround the murtis, with a green foliage frame behind them.

A photograph of a temple ritual at a gilded shrine. A man with long dark hair, wearing a white dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth and a white flower garland, reaches forward with his right hand to touch the head of a gold-coloured deity murti. The murti wears a tall gold crown, layered jewelled necklaces, large earrings and gold armlets, and sits beside a smaller gold figure in an orange garment and crown. Behind them are yellow, red and green flower garlands and a gilded arched frame. At the lower right stands a silver lamp, and at the lower left are offerings of green fruit and marigold garlands. The man's face is not visible, and his appearance is not clear enough to support a person identification.2010-01-01January 01 20122012-01-01January 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesA man with long dark hair and a vertical tilak stands smiling with palms pressed together in greeting before a decorated temple shrine. He wears a white dhoti and cream upper cloth with a gold-bordered edge, and is garlanded with a white-and-red flower garland and a gold bead necklace. Behind him are two large gold-coloured deity murtis: one wears an orange turban and red-and-gold garments, the other a tall gold crown and gold armour-style ornaments. Yellow, orange, purple and red flower garlands frame the shrine, with a golden kalasha and a brass-coloured lamp stand on either side. A small blue figure in a floral offering sits at the base.2010-01-01A photograph of a temple scene showing a gold-coloured deity murti seated on a throne-like altar beneath a golden arch, adorned with a crown, layered jewellery and a long beaded necklace. Beside it sits a second, smaller seated figure in a red and gold headdress and red-jewelled ornaments. Garlands of yellow marigolds and red and purple flowers drape the altar. In the foreground at left, a person in white and cream ritual dress with a flower-decorated hair bun reaches toward the figures, while a silver bowl and a floral garland with green beads and hanging pendants appear at the edge of the frame. No a person candidate is clearly visible; the figures are statues and the visible person is a priest-like attendant.2010-01-01December 30 20092009-12-30January 01 20122012-01-01March 07 20132013-03-07January 01 20112011-01-01December 26 20092009-12-26January 13 20152015-01-13January 13 20152015-01-13
