Inside a temple with gold-painted walls and an ornate gold arch, a priest in white dhoti with an orange shawl and white sacred markings on his arms and chest leans over a gilded standing figure. The priest holds a pink flower and a small oil lamp near the figure's chest, and a bare-shouldered attendant stands at right, seen from behind. The bronze-coloured statue wears a red-and-green flower garland on its head, a red tilak, and a gold waist cloth; a brass pot of offerings sits in the foreground. The scene shows a puja or aarti being performed before a statue.

A temple ritual in a plain room with yellow-tan cinder block walls. A bare-chested priest with a sandalwood forehead mark and white body markings wears a white dhoti with gold border and an orange-red shawl over one shoulder, a dark beaded mala around his neck. He holds a silver tray of halved lemons and lemon pieces with one hand, and a brass vessel is being held by another person's hand reaching in from the left. In front of him stands a copper-coloured statue of a bald, bare-chested figure with a hand raised in a gesture of blessing, and before it a black cylindrical abhishekam stone is being bathed. The scene appears to be a ritual abhishekam with lemons and water.2024-02-22June 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesSeptember 27 20182018-09-27June 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesApril 14 20242024-04-14November 21 20162016-11-21June 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesJune 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesJune 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesA bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with white sacred ash stripes on his arms and chest stands beside a large polished golden metal statue of a standing figure in a jeweled waist cloth, one hand raised in blessing. The priest wears a black face mask, a beaded necklace, and holds a small brass bell in his right hand while touching the statue's arm, performing a ritual in front of a deep red velvet curtain. At the right edge a colourful embroidered banner with red, green and blue patterns hangs.
