A black stone shivalingam stands on a dark stone yoni-pitha base in the centre. Behind it, a large deity murti of Shiva seated on a throne is draped in garlands of yellow, white, purple and red flowers, with a gold crown and gold jewellery. Three men stand to the left: one in a saffron-orange garment with rudraksha malas and a flower headband holds a flame lamp toward the lingam, while the men beside him in orange and red clothes sit with hands folded in prayer. A gilded standing figure with a shawl and necklace is at the right edge. Pale stone walls and a carved ceiling frame the scene.2015-02-17 +1 copiesA temple ritual scene at night in a stone-walled shrine. A large seated deity murti in a red and pink silk garment, with a gold crown and gold ornaments, sits behind a black stone shivalinga-style pedestal bathed in oil lamp light. Garlands of orange, yellow, purple and green flowers drape the arch and figures. Three priests stand at left: one in a brown-red cloth and rudraksha mala holds a bell and a lit lamp, another in saffron clothing holds a flame, and a bald man in brown robes stands with palms joined. A second gold statue of a figure stands at right with a tiger-striped garment and garlands, and a red-brown garment. Alongside the ritual the event is abhishekam and aarti-style worship, with no clearly visible identifiable candidate.2015-02-17 +1 copiesDecember 30 20172017-12-30February 17 20152015-02-17 +1 copiesDecember 22 20182018-12-22 +2 copiesDecember 27 20092009-12-27February 17 20152015-02-17 +1 copies
