Photograph inside a gilded shrine where a shaven-headed man in an orange sannyasi wrap stands with his back to the camera, bare-chested, a saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, facing a central group of richly dressed deity murtis. The central Shiva-like figure holds a trident and wears a tall turban-style crown and garlands, beside a goddess in a striped sari with a golden crown and jewelled necklaces. Flanking niches hold standing figures in garlands and red and orange headcloths, one holding a kalasha-like vessel. Small dressed figures and offerings of flowers sit on the altar floor. Gold arches and ornate ceiling frame the scene.2019-04-07April 07 20192019-04-07February 09 20122012-02-09June 22 20132013-06-22Photograph of a temple shrine with gilded deity murti seated in the centre under an ornate golden arch.
