A photograph of a temple shrine in which a bare-chested priest with a swept-back topknot, white ash markings on his body and a rudraksha mala, wrapped in an orange cloth, holds a lit oil lamp aarti toward a golden-framed shrine. Two standing deity murti figures flank the central wooden doors, painted in blue, red and gold. Trident-shaped staffs stand at the sides, and two people in orange garments sit below the altar area in front of the priest, with a third person partly visible at the bottom edge, performing puja.2017-08-04April 10 20142014-04-10Photograph inside a temple-like hall during an aarti with a lit brass lamp. In the foreground, a blurred figure in orange robes holds up a tall, multi-tiered brass lamp with many lit wicks. Behind, a seated figure in orange and red garments and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with a golden canopy, framed by a garland of red, yellow and green flowers. A female figure in orange sits near a microphone at the lower centre. Gold pillars and a deity murti stand beside the throne. The seated figure at the throne shows bare-chested adornments and a rudraksha mala; his appearance is consistent with the page reference, but a clear identification is uncertain. Several people visible in the scene.2017-07-30June 10 20142014-06-10Indoor temple-hall scene with a golden deity murti of a seated figure holding a trident, decorated with white and purple flower garlands, standing beside a gold deer-like vahana on a red cloth base.
