A photograph taken from behind a silhouetted figure in a dark garment walking down a red-carpeted ramp beside a metal railing toward a shrine. The figure's long hair is tied back and the body is backlit, so no features or clothing colours are clear. Ahead, a blurred deity murti with a crown and garlands, flanked by a second figure, sits on a raised pink-draped platform framed by a teal backdrop, orange curtains and golden arches. Bokeh lights decorate the upper scene.

A dark silhouette of a person, seen from behind and in profile, stands on a temple staircase beside a metal handrail, facing toward a deity murti. The murti, set behind them, is partly blurred and appears to be two figures adorned with garlands, gold ornaments and a pink and white garment, against a teal backdrop and red drapery. The person's head is wrapped or tied up, and the figure wears a plain dark garment. The scene is lit mainly by the warm glow of lamps on the altar.2011-02-25 +1 copiesFebruary 25 20112011-02-25 +1 copiesFebruary 25 20112011-02-25A dark silhouette of a person standing in a temple hall, seen from behind and slightly to the side, with hair tied back and wearing a draped dark garment.
