A young priest in saffron-orange dhoti and bare upper body, wearing a rudraksha mala, holds a silver tray of flower offerings and petals while standing at the shrine. Behind the lingam, ornate gold and jewelled shrine decorations frame small deity murtis dressed in garlands, and golden lion figures flank the foreground. Vibhuti markings are visible on the priest's arm and the lingam.2018-12-22December 22 20182018-12-22 +2 copiesA photograph of a temple ritual. In the left foreground a man in a rust-red turban and rust-red robe, with a white flower garland, long dark dreadlock-style hair falling to his back, and gold armlets, stands in profile holding a lit oil lamp (aarti) toward a shrine. Behind him, golden deity murtis are heavily decorated with multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, purple and white, and a golden cobra hood is visible. A brass bell and other ritual implements are nearby. The scene suggests a puja or aarti at a deity shrine.2017-07-09December 22 20182018-12-22 +2 copiesDecember 22 20182018-12-22July 09 20172017-07-09December 22 20182018-12-22Photo 11724094December 14 20162016-12-14 +1 copies
