A photograph of a temple-style shrine with a painted blue and pink backdrop and gilded arches. Two deity murti sit under golden arches; the central one is draped in green and adorned with white and red garlands and a crown. Beside it stands a gilded throne covered with a heavy garland-draped cloth in red, yellow and purple, with a seated figure's gilded throne in front. At right, a man in a white turban and white dhoti stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, wearing white garlands. A person in dark clothing is seated at left edge, smiling. Another murti at right is decorated with red and yellow garlands. A purple cloth lies on the lower dais.

Two large deity murtis, one on the left wearing a pink and purple skirt, a jeweled crown and pearl necklaces, and one at centre with a crown and beaded garlands, are heavily decorated with thick garlands of yellow, red, white and purple flowers. In the foreground a man in a red dhoti and white upper cloth with a white cloth on his head stands among other ritual participants; a shaved-headed man with white tilak marks kneels nearby, and a woman in a red blouse is partly visible at left. The setting suggests a puja or padapuja with garlanded images.2013-12-25A photograph of an ornate stage set with a painted turquoise backdrop decorated with pink and gold temple motifs. Three garlanded gold arches frame the scene: on the left a deity murti in a green-draped arch, in the centre an empty maroon-cushioned golden seat flanked by golden lion figures, and on the right a seated deity murti in a red and gold arch wearing a crown and ornaments, beside a smaller figure. A golden elephant stands at left and the floor is covered with decorative cloth. No living people are visible.2013-04-16
