A photograph of a temple wedding-style ritual at a deity shrine. A person with long dark hair, wearing a rust-brown draped garment, white flower garland, gold bangles and a gold ring, stands at left with hands raised in an offering gesture toward a silver-faced deity murti. The murti is adorned with a gold crown, orange headcloth, layered gold and jewelled necklaces, and is surrounded by red roses, yellow marigolds, white flowers and green leaves. A second silver deity figure with a gold crown is at right under a blue and gold-bordered drape, and a green parrot perches at upper left. Ornamental gold pillars frame the scene.

The murti wears an orange and green silk garment and a jewelled crown. Behind them is a deep red velvet curtain. Another person in orange and yellow stands partly visible at the left edge, and a brass plate sits in the foreground. Appearance-based cues are not distinctive enough to name the man, so he is described by role only.2015-04-28 +2 copiesApril 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesA photograph of a temple worship scene. A man with long hair, wearing a rust-brown shawl and brown dhoti with a gold border, stands at left smiling and reaches toward a gilded kalasha-shaped vessel and a golden lingam-like object wrapped in red and white flower garlands. Behind them sits a pair of gold-coloured deity murti, one wearing an orange turban and crown, the other a tall ornate crown, both adorned with necklaces and flower garlands. The arch behind is densely decorated with red, orange, yellow, purple and white flowers. A brass oil lamp stands at left, and a ceremonial staff with a gold finial appears at right. The man's brown clothing and the arrangement suggest a puja or abhishekam, though his identity cannot be determined from appearance.2013-04-14
