A bare-chested man in an orange dhoti at the left waves a fan-like object toward the murti. Several people in orange and white clothing stand at the right holding long poles, and small oil lamps flicker on the ground. Strings of coloured lights and a green light are visible in the background.2016-11-05March 01 20182018-03-01 +1 copiesNight photograph of a decorated processional palanquin with a deity murti draped in dense garlands of yellow, orange and red flowers.

Marigold and white garlands drape the figure and the canopy, with hanging pink and gold tassels above. A bald man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a beaded mala around his neck, stands at left holding a long fan-like whisk near the shrine. Three onlookers in the foreground, including an older woman in a blue sari with a mala and a girl with a braid in a teal top, face the altar. The wrapped figure's appearance is a shaved-head priest in orange; the page links him to a person but his features and cues are not distinctive enough to confirm, so the identity is left unsure.2011-10-04March 07 20162016-03-07
