Before him stand two large deity murtis: a figure on the left in a green and orange turban with a crown, and a figure on the right in a red-orange and gold garment with a jewelled necklace and a marigold garland. Both murtis are adorned with bright marigold garlands in yellow, orange and green. A tall brass oil lamp stands at the right edge, and small string lights glow along the ceiling. This is a ritual aarti performed before deity murtis.2008-10-03February 05 20142014-02-05December 23 20162016-12-23
