An orange curtain hangs beside the shrine. Behind him, several priests in white dhotis with red borders, bare upper bodies, sandalwood and vibhuti marks and gold-bead garlands carry a brass tray and a small silver vessel. A blackboard with white writing hangs on the wall. The man in the foreground has long hair tied in a bun and a gold necklace, but the image does not establish whether he is a person, so the a person value is unsure.2010-10-18 +1 copiesOutdoor temple courtyard with orange-painted walls and a corrugated roof.
