A golden deity murti of Shiva and Parvati, seated within a garlanded arch of yellow, red and white flowers, is being worshipped in a temple sanctum. A man in a rust-orange shawl and matching headwrap, wearing a rudraksha-style garland, stands at left holding a lit oil lamp toward the murti. Two standing golden figures with ornate jewelled necklaces and crowns flank the central pair, each draped in flower garlands. Brass oil lamps decorated with white and red blossoms stand in the foreground beside a silver offering tray, and a small crowd of photographers and attendees is visible along the bottom edge.2016-12-14January 04 20152015-01-04December 14 20162016-12-14July 09 20172017-07-09December 02 20172017-12-02A photograph of a temple puja before a golden deity murti pair seated on a throne decorated with red, yellow and white flower garlands and green foliage. A person in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl, with long swept-back hair and a saffron-orange rudraksha mala, holds a lit oil lamp in one hand and a small vessel in the other, offering arati to the murti. The seated murti wear an orange turban-style crown, gold jewelry and garlands. Ornate gold arch and carved stone pillars frame the scene, with a gold trident-like staff at right. Appearance cues of the person are distinctive but the page is a single figure; the figure's appearance is consistent with a candidate description, so identity remains uncertain.2013-04-14January 04 20152015-01-04 +1 copiesA temple sanctum scene during a festival puja.

A large garland of yellow and red flowers drapes a decorated object near the base of the murtis. Brass lamps and ornate gold-toned pillars frame the shrine. On the right edge, a person in orange garments is partly visible from behind.2021-07-23Photo 11738315 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesJanuary 04 20152015-01-04
