A photograph of a temple shrine with golden and blue-tiled arches, where a priest in an orange cloth and white sacred ash marks abhishekam over a central deity murti, a pair of seated figures adorned with jewelled necklaces, garlands and crowns. Flanking the shrine are two standing devotee statues in red-and-orange turbans and rudraksha malas holding garlands, with stone lions at the base. A visible trident and offerings complete the scene, and no living people beyond the single priest are shown.

Photo 11723995A photograph of a gold-ornamented shrine with large statues of a deity pair, a male figure crowned with a tall ornate headdress and a female figure in a red and green sari with jewelled necklaces, standing above a black shivalinga-style pedestal being bathed. Two living people are at the lower left and centre: a bearded man in saffron robes with palms joined, and a woman in an orange cloth and leopard-print top pouring liquid from a vessel onto the lingam. Flanking statues wear red turbans, marigold garlands and hold a kalasha. Lion figures sit at the base beside floral offerings.2018-12-20 +1 copiesDecember 20 20182018-12-20 +1 copiesDecember 06 20182018-12-06A priest in a rust-red dhoti and matching shawl stands at the lower left of a shrine, bending forward to offer a flower garland over a black Shivalinga set on a dark stone yoni pedestal. Behind the linga, large golden-bodied murtis of Shiva and Parvati sit on a red cloth-draped dais, Shiva wearing a red turban with a crescent emblem, a trident held in his raised hand and gold necklaces, Parvati in a purple sari with a gold crown and ornaments. Dense garlands of marigolds, roses and white jasmine in red, yellow, orange and purple frame the scene. Flanking murtis stand on either side, with garlanded gold figures and a brass lamp stand at the right edge. The shrine is ornate stone with carved pillars. The photograph is a temple abhishekam or puja setting, with no living audience visible.2014-11-28December 20 20182018-12-20September 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copiesJanuary 01 20192019-01-01December 11 20182018-12-11February 21 20202020-02-21 +1 copiesDecember 10 20182018-12-10February 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copies
