Kailasa kanchipuram december 28th 2021A young man in a white dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth, bare-chested with white sacred markings on his arms and shoulder, and a long rudraksha mala hanging over his shoulder, pours liquid from a brass vessel over three small gold-coloured metal murtis on a green-legged table covered with a gold tray and scattered yellow flowers. The murtis appear to be a deity with consorts, placed in a small shrine room with framed religious prints on the walls and a seated statue draped with garlands and beads in the background. Yellow flower petals lie on the tray and in metal bowls at the edges of the frame. The scene suggests a daily puja or abhishekam at a small shrine.2021-12-26A photograph inside a small shrine room with yellow walls and white floor tiles.
