A man with long dark dreadlocks, wearing a dark brown dhoti, a gold-toned waist band and a multicoloured headwrap wrapped with floral garland, reaches toward the decorated murti with his right arm, adorned with gold armlets. To the left, another attendant in orange-saffron cloth with a bare upper body and beaded necklace holds a brass plate. Behind them, a golden shield-like backdrop and a figure in yellow and maroon robes with a red tilak and gold ornaments are visible. Lush garlands drape the central figure. The image is watermarked.2017-12-02January 09 20182018-01-09January 09 20182018-01-09December 18 20112011-12-18December 15 20112011-12-15 +1 copiesA temple interior where a person in a maroon and gold-bordered dhoti and matching shawl, with a garland of yellow and red flowers around the neck and a red-and-gold bangle on the wrist, smiles while placing a hand on a black stone Shivalingam decorated with yellow marigold garlands and green leaves. Behind them stands a golden deity murti in a red skirt, with a tall striped and flower-decorated garland hanging nearby. A man in white dhoti with a gold border stands at left holding a metal bowl, and a bare-headed attendant in white is also visible at the left edge. The scene looks like an abhishekam or puja at the lingam, with offerings of leaves and a coconut at the base. Several people are partially visible at the edges, making the count uncertain.2015-01-13December 02 20172017-12-02A photograph of a temple shrine seen from behind a standing figure with long matted dreadlocks, wearing a rust-red turban, bare-backed with a red-brown cloth and beaded multicolour garland around the neck and metal armbands. The figure reaches toward a silver shivalinga-style object. Behind, two large golden deity murtis wear crowns and ornaments, one in purple and gold robes, framed by heavy garlands of red, yellow, white and green flowers. A pink floral garland hangs near an ornate pink-and-gold arched frame in the foreground, with a small gold figure and a red embroidered cloth below. The figure's identity is not established by visible cues here.2018-01-09
