A woman in a rust-red sari with gold border stands at a shrine, reaching out to scatter pink flower petals over a white statue seated on a red-and-orange flower-decorated seat. The statue wears a red turban, white and pink flower garlands and a red shawl. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a backdrop shows a painted temple arch and forest scene. On the left, a hand holds a plate of petals, and in the lower left a person in orange clothing sits beside a tray of fruit, a brass lota and flowers. The statue is a deity murti in a puja setting, and the scene reads as an offering of flower petals.2013-06-23June 23 20142014-06-23June 23 20142014-06-23 +1 copiesJune 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesA photo of a temple shrine scene.
