A collage of two photographs. On the left, a man with long hair and a blue cap stands with palms pressed together in namaste, wearing an orange shawl over an orange dhoti and a rudraksha mala. On the right, a shrine with a red draped backdrop holds large deity murtis of a seated couple adorned with gold and silver jewellery, a crown and garlands of yellow, red and purple flowers. In front of the shrine, a smaller figure in a pink garment and pink cap sits before a kalasha and brass oil lamp, with a garland draped across the altar.2011 - Photo Album2011 - Photo AlbumJanuary 01 20122012-01-01Photo 11744547 +2 copiesA shrine photograph showing a large pair of deity murti, a male figure with four arms holding a trident and a drum-like object and a female figure in a red and gold sari, both garlanded with marigold and red flower garlands in front of a green and gold backdrop. Between them sits a shivalinga draped in a pink cloth and garlands. A seated priest in saffron-orange robes sits on a mat at lower left, tending to brass vessels and a plate of offerings.

In the foreground a priest in an orange dhoti and orange shawl, with a bare upper body and white markings on his arm, sits cross-legged and waves a lit flame over a seated white-marble statue of a figure in orange robes with a turban-like headwear, placed before two large deity murtis. The deity murtis are dressed in gold and red garlands; one holds a trident and wears a gold crown. A golden kalasha-style vessel and brass oil lamps stand nearby, with rose petals and fruit on a tray in front. To the right a golden palanquin-style peetha is heaped with red and yellow flowers and white garlands. Several people's hands appear at the lower right edge.2010-07-21
