Garlands of yellow and red flowers adorn the figures. To the right, a man in orange cloth holds a brass bell, and a gold palanquin-style stand piled with flowers and fruit sits in front. The murtis are dressed in red and purple cloth, with a crowned central figure and a consort in a purple skirt. Sanctuary offerings include fruit and flowers on the altar.2010-07-21A photograph of a temple shrine with ornate gilded arches and a carved stone pillar.
