In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron cloth with a rudraksha mala holds up a lit multi-flame brass aarti lamp, its flames blazing. Behind the lamp, a person in white sits before a golden throne-like altar (peetha) at the center of the shrine. Above the altar hangs a framed portrait of a man in an orange turban and saffron robe, with a golden frame and a crown-like top. Two large painted standing figures with crowns and multiple arms, in orange dhotis and green sashes, flank the doorway, and brass lamp stands line the walls. The shrine is decorated with pastel blue, orange and green painted columns and cloth. The man holding the aarti is a priest or devotee; the figure in the portrait is a printed image, not a physical person.2013-12-02Photo 11742592 +2 copiesDecember 06 20132013-12-06December 02 20132013-12-02Photograph of a temple shrine interior with painted pillars and two tall deity statues flanking a gold throne-like seat.
