A photograph inside a temple sanctum with ornate stone pillars and a gilded arch. A central figure dressed in saffron-orange robes sits on a raised seat decorated with red and white flower garlands, with a large garland draped across the front. Beside him stands a priest in white dhoti and a white upper cloth holding a brass tray or plate. Two tall brass lamps with lit flames flank the scene at left and right. A bronze-coloured deity murti stands in a small shrine niche at the right edge, and a smaller seated figure in orange sits at the lower left. Brass vessels and offerings are arranged on the floor in front of the raised seat.2011-11-06November 06 20112011-11-06 +1 copiesMarch 19 20122012-03-19A temple shrine scene during an oil-lamp ritual.
