A close photograph of a temple sanctum floor during ritual bathing. In the foreground stands a small brass figure of a deity holding a trident-like staff and a raised implement, seated on a square base with traces of red and yellow on it. Behind it, two tall brass or copper pedestals with carved lotus-petal bases hold larger murtis; the left one is painted yellow. An orange silk cloth lies draped across the stone floor between the pedestals, and the granite is wet with water and turmeric-stained paste. No people are visible.
