In the centre stand golden deity murtis of a male deity with a crown and a female deity in a gold and magenta sari with elaborate jewellery, behind a golden arch. In front, a shrine lingam is adorned with a green and orange flower garland and gold ornaments. At left, a man in a maroon dhoti and a maroon headwrap with a white flower garland holds a lit lamp or fire vessel toward the shrine, performing an aarti-style puja. Additional garlanded murtis flank the scene, and a fire-lit lamp glows near the central figures.2016-12-14Photograph of a decorated temple sanctum with two gold-coloured deity murtis seated on a jewelled throne backdrop, both draped in thick garlands of yellow, white, red and pink flowers. A figure in saffron-orange dress on the left stands near a gold ritual vessel and raises a hand in an offering gesture, while a gold statue of a bearded sage in a rust-coloured turban and rudraksha-style beads stands on the right, also garlanded. The ornate backdrop is decorated with mirrored and jewelled panels. The setting suggests an abhishekam or puja arrangement in an Aadheenam hall.2018-12-22December 14 20162016-12-14July 23 20212021-07-23A decorated deity murti is shown at the centre, flanked by two smaller ornately adorned figures on either side. The central figure wears a gold and red turban-style crown, a jewelled bodice and holds a trident-like staff and a ceremonial sword. Dense garlands of red and yellow flowers with green leaves frame the murtis, and a white cloth drapes above them against a gold-framed red backdrop. This is a deity murti, not a person; no physical people are visible.2016-11-06Golden shrine interior decorated with flower garlands in yellow, red, white and green, and bamboo-leaf hangings above. Two large gilded deity murtis sit on a raised seat, one wearing a tall jewelled crown and holding a golden staff, the other adorned with jewellery and a red-and-gold garment. A standing gilded attendant figure at left holds a trident and wears an orange turban. In front, a young male priest in orange robes, rudraksha mala and a black head covering holds a small ritual lamp and a bell. Ornate mirror-work panels frame the scene. The priest is a physical person; the statues are not counted.2018-12-22January 01 20192019-01-01A temple sanctum adorned with yellow and red-white garlands during a puja. In the centre stands a large black linga-shaped object decorated with green leaves and a garland, before a golden throne-like seat holding two gilded deity murtis wearing crowns and jewellery. A priest in a dark red-maroon dhoti and head wrap stands at left extending his hands toward the altar, while a second priest in white and a bald-shaved head is partly visible at far left.
