Beside him, a person in white ritual clothes is partly visible at the edge. In front of him stands a large deity murti adorned with dense garlands in red, yellow, purple and white, with a gold crown and a gilded kalasha-like pedestal. Gilded figures and a golden arch frame the shrine, and flower garlands hang over the seated images. Mounted on the wall at top left is a small purple emblem. The scene appears to be a temple or ashram shrine during puja.2015-01-04January 04 20152015-01-04December 13 20112011-12-13March 25 20082008-03-25A priest in a rust-red robe and matching turban holds a lit oil lamp aloft toward a richly decorated shrine during an aarti.
