A black stone deity murti sits within a white arched shrine, draped in red cloth and garlanded with orange-and-white flower strands, set on a heap of red-orange offerings. In front, a polished black granite platform reflects the trees. Four men stand with hands folded in prayer: one in white dhoti with a sacred thread holds a brass plate of offerings, one in a red dhoti and orange shawl with a rudraksha mala stands centre, and others wear saffron and white. Two women in orange saris stand nearby, also in prayer.2010-12-26March 24 20132013-03-24Outdoor shrine scene under a large spreading tree. A red-clad deity murti stands beneath a white arched stone frame, garlanded with marigolds and yellow flowers, with a mound of red kumkum and offerings in front. Several men in ritual dress perform worship: a man in white dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth holds a brass plate, while a man in pink-red robes stands with palms joined in namaskar. Other men wear saffron and orange robes and rudraksha-style neck garlands; a bald man in white dhoti with an orange shawl joins in at the right with hands folded. Dark stone flooring lies in the foreground. The scene shows puja or padapuja offering. No figure is confidently identifiable as a person from appearance cues, so the role is described as a devotee in ritual clothing.2010-12-26March 20 20132013-03-20Outdoor temple scene under dense green trees. At left, a deity murti in a white arched niche with an orange curtain, draped in garlands, sits on a black pedestal before a mound of red powder and a snake-shaped black border. A standing man at right wears a bare upper torso with layered gold-and-bead necklaces, a rudraksha-style mala, gold armbands, and an orange-and-gold dhoti, hands folded in anjali. Behind him, several people in orange robes stand along a path. Red and pink mats lie on the stone floor.2013-07-20December 22 20102010-12-22April 06 20132013-04-06 +1 copiesDecember 26 20102010-12-26
