A dim temple interior shows a woman in an orange sari with gold jewellery seen from behind, holding a lamp or vessel, while an oil lamp burns in front of a seated deity murti in an arched niche. The flame glows warmly, casting orange light across the scene. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible, only a partially seen figure in the background, so identity remains uncertain.2012-05-18A dimly lit photograph of a shrine ritual. A man in a reddish-orange cloth stands bent forward at left, holding a lit multi-wick brass oil lamp (aarti lamp) toward a silver-coloured linga with a raised face and a flower garland draped over it, set against a white cloth. The linga sits on a stone base near the shrine's dark background, with small stones on the ground. The man's face is partly visible and he is barefoot. The flame is the main light source. Setting appears to be a temple or mutt sanctum at night, with the aarti lamp being offered to the Shiva linga.Photo 11730972 +1 copiesPhotograph inside a temple shrine lit by warm lamps.
