On the throne sits a framed portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe, a printed image rather than a living person. Two painted standing deity murtis flank the throne, one on each side, each with multiple arms and gold ornaments. In the foreground, a bald priest with a rudraksha mala and orange cloth stands at left, holding a tiered brass lamp stand with many flames. Seated devotees in orange garments sit near the throne, and oil lamps line both sides of the shrine floor. This is a puja or aarti at the shrine.2013-07-20October 26 20132013-10-26A photograph inside a temple-style shrine hall. Two large painted standing figures with four arms, crowns and green-and-orange garments flank the central doorway. In the centre, a framed portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe sits atop a golden throne with a tiger-motif base, garlanded with white flower strands and red-and-yellow garlands. A man in white dhoti with bare upper body kneels at the throne, and a woman in an orange sari kneels at the lower left beside brass puja items and a tray of offerings. Brass oil lamps stand on either side. Two more people in orange clothing are visible near the throne. The floor is covered with a red mat.2014-06-02July 30 20132013-07-30April 22 20142014-04-22October 31AFP 20132013-10-31 +1 copies
