Several deity murtis are seated on decorated thrones framed by heaps of garlands in yellow, green, red and white. At centre a seated figure in a red and gold garment sits on a red-cushioned throne, flanked by a gold lion, while a man in orange robes with a shaved head, standing at right, makes an offering toward a murti.

Ritual offerings and abhishekam-style decorations surround the sacred seats.2013-12-24May 07 20172017-05-07December 24 20132013-12-24A photograph of a ceremonial stage in a hall with maroon velvet drapes and a white ceiling. On the left, a seated person in a red-orange garment and a red cap sits on a large gold-and-red throne with hands joined in namaskar, a garland around the neck. Center stage, several deity murti statues in red and pink garments, with garlands of yellow, orange and green flowers, sit on a gold-and-green canopied dais above a tray of fruit and offerings. On the right, a gold-finished statue of a deity mounted on a golden animal vahana stands under a garlanded arch, with yellow cloth draped on its base. Offerings and fruit are arranged on the floor. Only the throned person is a physical human in the foreground; the others are statues.2013-12-26December 24 20132013-12-24May 07 20172017-05-07February 19 20162016-02-19Photo 11701805 +1 copiesMarch 27 20162016-03-27A photograph of an ornate temple-style stage hung with a deep red curtain and gold-carved pillars. At centre, a man in orange robes sits cross-legged on a red-cushioned seat before a large gold arched shrine heavily decorated with yellow and red flower garlands, with a deity murti at its centre. Gilt statues flank the stage, and golden figures in arched niches on either side are also garlanded with yellow flowers. Lamps hang from the ceiling, and a brass railing lines the front of the stage. The man in orange is the only physical person visible, and he appears to be seated in a central role.2017-11-24
