A priest in white dhoti and shawl with red borders stands at left, seen from behind with a shaved head, holding a lit oil lamp aloft toward a large dark stone sculpture of a dancing deity. The murti stands within a circular arch of flame-like scrollwork, holding a long staff across its body. An orange-walled building with a window and ceiling fan is behind, and a night sky is above. Arm bands of white paint are visible on the priest's arms.

A man with long dark hair, white tilak on his forehead, red and yellow marigold garlands around his neck and a leopard-print wrap over an orange-brown cloth, holds a lit camphor aarti plate toward a large black stone deity murti with a trident, a crown-like headdress, a white and red garment and beaded necklaces. Red and yellow flower garlands drape the statue and red petals lie on its base, with an oil lamp on the ground nearby. Dark wooden sticks and a burning flame frame the foreground. This is an aarti offering before a deity statue.2013-03-02 +1 copiesMay 09 20142014-05-09August 31 20112011-08-31December 06 20122012-12-06December 26 20122012-12-26November 14 20132013-11-14
