A photograph of a temple ritual at a decorated shrine with carved stone pillars. Two large deity murtis, one with an orange turban and gold crown and one in red and pink garments with a jewelled crown, are seated on a platform framed by garlands of marigolds and roses in red, yellow, purple and white. A shaven-headed priest in orange robes stands at left reaching toward the figures, while a young assistant in red-orange garments with long dark hair pours or offers from a vessel near the central deity. Brass lamps and a kalasha-like vessel sit before the garlanded figures, and a small clay or doll-like figure in red appears at the base. This appears to be a padapuja-style worship scene.

December 12 20112011-12-12A golden arched shrine holds a seated deity murti with a red turban-like crown and a red-and-gold garment, flanked by a second figure in red and gold with jewelled ornaments. Long garlands of yellow marigolds, white flowers and magenta blooms drape the murti and the front pedestal. In the foreground, a figure in orange robes with bare shoulders and a white flower-decorated head offers a silver plate, while a second attendant in orange on the left holds another tray. Smoke or incense fills the background. The scene resembles an abhishekam or puja at a temple shrine.2008-12-27December 12 20112011-12-12December 27 20082008-12-27 +1 copiesDecember 30 20092009-12-30December 18 20112011-12-18December 27 20082008-12-27June 09 20092009-06-09December 15 20112011-12-15December 18 20112011-12-18December 12 20112011-12-12December 27 20082008-12-27
