A person in an orange-saffron two-piece garment bows forward at a stone shrine platform, hands resting on the stone edge, bare feet on a doormat. Behind the platform stands a deity murti with blue-skinned figures, garlands of orange and yellow marigolds, and a bare-chested stone image wrapped in cloth. Brass oil lamps, a brass kalasha-style vessel and a small lit flame sit on the platform. Red and white pillars and a red wall frame the open-air shrine at night.

A single man in an orange-saffron dhoti and matching upper wrap bows forward at the waist with his hands near the shrine ledge, barefoot on a woven mat. Behind the ledge, a deity murti stands draped in garlands of yellow and orange flowers, with a large white cobra hood arching above it, and brass lamps and offering vessels sit on the altar. Red and white painted walls and a corrugated roof frame the courtyard, with palm trees beyond. The man's face is not visible, so his identity cannot be determined from the image.2010-11-15March 03 20112011-03-03 +1 copiesNovember 12 20102010-11-12November 14 20102010-11-14 +1 copiesOctober 20 20102010-10-20A photograph inside a temple shrine where a single man in an orange saffron garment bows forward at a granite platform with his hands near the stone ledge. Behind the platform stand deity murtis draped in pink and white cloth with garlands of marigolds and purple flowers, including a blue figure at the centre. Brass oil lamps and offering plates with flowers sit on the stone altar. Red-and-white striped walls, orange curtains and a corrugated roof frame the scene, with palm trees beyond the open pillared hall. The man is in a respectful puja posture, and the figure's appearance matches the orange-clad sannyasi cues only loosely, so identity is uncertain.2010-10-20 +1 copiesNovember 12 20102010-11-12A photograph of a temple shrine with a person in saffron-orange robes bent forward at a granite shrine platform, one hand resting on the stone, head covered by the orange cloth.
