A woman in a red and orange sari with a gold bangle and vibhuti marks on her forehead performs aarti, holding a flaming lamp over a shrine. Behind her, a richly decorated deity murti sits on a throne, dressed in gold ornaments and a crown, surrounded by layered garlands of marigolds and roses in red, yellow, purple and white. Figures to the right, including a statue in a crown, are also draped in colourful flower garlands. A brass bell hangs from her left hand and a gold-framed canopy rises above the shrine. The scene is a temple puja with garlanded idols; no living person is identifiable as a person.2015-01-04December 14 20162016-12-14February 17 20152015-02-17July 22 20132013-07-22A temple sanctum scene during worship at a Shiva lingam decorated with marigold and rose garlands.
