In front, a figure in an orange sannyasi-style robe and head cloth, seen from behind, stands at a red-draped altar holding a wooden tray of flowers. Beside them a woman in a red top and red skirt holds a brass puja vessel. Additional deity murtis in pink and gold draping appear at the right edge, and a white cloth covers the lower left.2009-05-22Two men in a marble shrine perform puja before a trio of deity murtis dressed in orange and gold garments with halos and crowns, set against a red and gold embroidered backdrop. The man at left wears an orange kurta over a dark vest and white dhoti and holds a small bell; the man at right wears a white kurta and dhoti and gestures toward the deities. Red and orange flowers in pots and a red-draped offering table stand in front of the altar, and carved wooden doors frame the scene.2014-03-16Photograph of three white marble deity murtis standing side by side before a deep red draped backdrop, decorated with garlands of red, pink and white flowers. The figures wear orange and red silk garments with gold embroidered borders, gold crowns and ornaments, and the central and right figures raise hands in blessing. Red flowers and a small offering lie at their feet, with a brass lamp visible at the lower left. No physical people are visible, so this is a statue depiction of deity murtis rather than a living person.2008-10-23Three white marble-like deity murtis stand side by side before a red velvet drape, framed by a garland arch of green leaves, orange marigolds and white and red flowers. Each figure wears a gold crown, orange and gold embroidered garments with green-and-gold borders, and heavy floral garlands. The central figure holds a bow-like staff and raises a hand in blessing; the left figure holds a staff topped with an ornament, and the right figure raises one hand in blessing. A lotus-shaped gold ornament is mounted above them. The setting suggests a temple altar decorated for worship.2008-10-22A photograph of a temple ritual in front of several large white deity murtis with gold crowns, yellow and multicoloured silk garments, and a standing staff or sceptre. A man with long curly dark hair and an orange saffron wrap stands in the foreground with his back partly to the camera, applying a white paste or vibhuti-like marking to the arm or shoulder area of a figure beside the murtis. To the left, a man in a red-orange robe and a rudraksha-style necklace stands with palms pressed together in anjali. A garlanded image with green, red and yellow flower garlands and a small brass or silver shrine object sit nearby. Offerings and a red flower lie on the altar base.2007-11-09
