A temple shrine scene: a priest in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha mala pours a flame or offering over a black Shiva linga on a dark stone yoni base. Behind it, a gilded arched frame surrounds a deity murti pair with orange and red garments, marigold garlands and necklaces, and a red drape. Flanking statues wear marigold garlands. A second priest in white with a rudraksha mala stands at left, and a small kalasha and brass lamps sit on a side table. Smoke or incense drifts in the foreground.2014-11-06Priests perform abhishekam at a shivalinga in a temple shrine with golden arch framing a deity murti pair of a male and female figure in red and pink garments with gold necklaces and yellow marigold garlands.

A man with a bare upper body, wearing a white dhoti with gold borders and a rudraksha mala, stands with his back to the camera, hands folded in prayer before the altar. Inside a gold-framed arch with a red curtain, a deity murti pair sits with garlands of orange marigolds and beaded necklaces; a black shivalinga stands on a black yoni pedestal in front. Two standing attendant figures in red and orange flank the shrine, one with a crown, and small brass lamps and offering plates sit on a wooden table at left, with flower petals scattered on the floor.2014-11-06March 07 20162016-03-07September 13 20112011-09-13November 21 20142014-11-21August 28 20152015-08-28June 07 20162016-06-07Inside a temple shrine, priests perform worship before a gilded arched frame enclosing a tall deity murti in orange and red garments with a trident and garlands of marigolds and tulsi-like beads.
