A photograph inside a temple shrine of a standing priest in saffron-orange robes who holds a lit oil lamp aarti flame toward a large golden deity murti.

Tall ornate brass lamp stands and a golden arched canopy frame the shrine, and a small figure is visible at the right edge. The scene appears to be a puja or aarti offering.2010-07-21Photo 11742535 +1 copiesFebruary 20 20132013-02-20Photo 11683177 +1 copiesA temple shrine scene where a long-haired man in orange-saffron robes and a flower garland stands before an ornate golden deity murti seated on a throne with a red canopy and purple drapery.
