The shrine has a golden arch, red drapes and carved stone pillars, with a sculpted Shiva-family panel and a bull above. A brass bowl sits on a red-and-black counter, and a silver kalasha-like vessel is on a stand at left. The figure is a priest performing aarti; no evidence establishes him as a person, so the identity is unsure.2011-10-04November 21 20102010-11-21January 17 20122012-01-17December 04 20102010-12-04A shaved-headed priest in a white dhoti with an orange-bordered shawl and orange waist cloth stands bare-chested at right, raising a lit camphor flame on a silver aarti lamp toward a shrine. Smoke rises from the flame. Before him, on a red-fronted altar with a brass plate, stands a stone shrine with an arched golden frame and orange and red drapes holding deity murtis, including a seated figure and a standing consort. A small red-clad figure stands in an adjacent niche. A silver vessel sits on a carved wooden stand at left, and a stone Nandi bull is visible on the roof ledge.2011-10-04November 10 20102010-11-10 +2 copiesPhoto 11742553 +1 copiesNovember 12 20102010-11-12
