A bare-chested priest in orange cloth with a saffron shawl and a headband stands at the centre, his hand resting on a golden arch over a lingam with a white tripundra marking. Behind him, gilded deity murtis with crowns and jewelled necklaces stand under ornate mirror-work arches. Flanking figures wear red turbans, pink and maroon garments and heavy jewelled necklaces. The figures are statues, not living people, and the priest is a devotee performing abhishekam or puja at the sanctum.2020-11-24October 03 20182018-10-03November 03 20182018-11-03December 05 20182018-12-05A priest in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe stands with his back to the camera, reaching up to touch the shoulder of a large golden deity murti in a red-curtained shrine arch. The golden male deity wears a red and orange turban, a yellow garment and heavy jewelled necklaces, and holds a trident. The female deity beside him wears a purple and green sari, layered gold necklaces, and a crown, with a garland of red and yellow flowers draped across both figures. Below, a white-clad figure seated in front of the statues is decorated with a gold-bordered cloth and flower garlands. A brass oil lamp stands at the left edge, and a small brass vessel and a potted plant sit at the bottom right.2010-07-21December 03 20182018-12-03
