March 22 20082008-03-22Photograph of a devotee in a sleeveless saffron-orange garment with long curly hair, seen from behind, reaching up to adjust or adorn a pair of bronze-coloured deity murti. The murti on the left wears an orange turban and a dark-patterned necklace; the murti on the right wears a crown-like headdress, a pink silk garment and jewelled ornaments. Both are draped with yellow, red, pink and white flower garlands, and a red cloth hangs over the back. A gold-coloured arched frame surrounds the shrine. The scene appears to be a temple or shrine decoration setting.2008-03-22A photograph of a long-haired person in saffron-orange robes reaching up to adjust a red and gold cloth draped over a pair of metal deity murtis. The murtis, adorned with yellow, red, pink and white flower garlands, sit beneath an ornate gold-leaf arch.

Yellow and purple marigold garlands frame the arched gold doorway, and a brass kalasha-style vessel with flowers sits in the foreground beside a tray.

The central figures are a male deity with an orange crown and a female deity in a pink sari, both draped with multicoloured flower garlands and an orange shawl. In the foreground a deity murti wears a rudraksha-style garland and a red-and-white flower garland. Two shaven-headed attendants in orange robes stand at left, one holding a cymbal and the other tending a lamp. Brass oil lamps stand at the foreground, and the stone pillars are carved with traditional motifs. The temple abhishekam or aarti setting suggests a ritual worship scene.2008-03-22
